Best Newcomer – HIDE
Next we had an award for London’s Best Newcomer. This award was given in association with Château Pichon Baron and for that reason was presented by Fiona Campbell, who manages the communications for the Port house in the UK, on behalf of AXA Millésimes, the group that owns Pichon Baron, along with Quinta do Noval, two of our sponsors of the Wine List Confidential Awards.
So hotly anticipated was this new entrant to London’s wine scene that we almost had to delay the publication of this year’s Wine List Confidential guide just to include it.
A collaboration between Evgeny Chichvarkin and Tatiana Fokina, minds behind the nearby Hedonism Wines; chef, Ollie Dabbous (a protégé of Raymond Blanc), and mixologist, Oskar Kinberg, along with head somm Piotr Pietras, it was bound to be brilliant.
Thankfully, it is. Bursting onto our website just a few weeks ago, it contains an incredible selection of gems from 1889 Yquem to Pétrus 1949, and access to 6000 wines at nearby Hedonism’s wine shop.
