Wine List

While tickling your taste buds, don’t forget to pamper your palate.

At  Sage we are passionate as much for our wines as for our food and we have chosen wines with proven quality carefully  selected to complement and accentuate our Head Chef Shteryo Yurukov’s style of cooking. Our menus reflect the seasons, and include a variety of foraged ingredients from common hedgerow to sea plants and seaweed.

Our wine list is the result of a close partnership with our suppliers so we look for balance on the list but our focus is on wines with shortest travel time to your table (but of course with few irresistible exceptions). We have mixed  classic trendy, quirky and rare wines for adventurous palates from selected small, independent producers who are passionate about what they do. Some are organic or bio-dynamic and all are traceable to source and well made. The majority of the wines are inexpensive, young, fresh and elegant and help to accentuate our style of cooking.

We feel our wines reflect interesting wine regions and styles – old, new, established, iconoclastic, white, red, pink… but the wine, like the food, is about the notions of sharing and conviviality.

Of course, since there are no restrictions or expectations here, local beers and ales can make just as good a pairing with our food as wines so please feel free and comfortable to order alternative drinks as you wish or ask for advice.
