Matt from The Roast tells us why his wines are so good.
I just happen to know the guy who is the Head Sommelier at The Dorchester Hotel. I asked him to source some really good wines for The Roast and he did. And that’s how we got to have a wine list sourced by the Head Sommelier at The Dorchester.
We get the wines through Liberty Wines London – I don’t think anyone else in the North uses them so that makes our wine list even more special. Liberty Wines win loads of accolades – they were voted European Wine Merchant of the Year at 2011’s Sommelier Wine Awards and picked up 4 trophies and 8 Gold medals at the recent Decanter World Wine Awards.
We’ve got 3 red wines and 6 whites through Liberty, along with a Pinot Grigio Rosata that’s very popular with the ladies. There’s a delicious dry white Italian house wine, Ponte Pietra White from the Venice region, an excellent Alpha Zeta Veneto Pinot Grigio, a South African Sangoma Chenin Blanc and a Sauvignon Blanc (Tinpot Hut pictured) and a Hellfire Bay Chardonnay from Australia. Our Montepulciano d’Abruzzo red really pulls some punches too!
