Wines worth discovering at The Forest Side

We love wine at The Forest Side and it’s an integral part of what we do. But we’ve always said that what you enjoy drinking matters far more than what you know about it.

Our wine list is there to be explored, whether you know exactly what you’re looking for or haven’t the faintest idea where to begin. Tell us what you like, what you normally drink, how much you’d like to spend, or simply ask us to choose.

You don’t need to know the right words. Just tell us what you enjoy and we’ll take it from there.

Behind the scenes, we take wine seriously. Our list brings together great names with smaller growers and lesser-known bottles that we think are worth discovering. Many work organically or biodynamically, some make only tiny quantities, and every wine earns its place because we think it’s delicious and has something interesting to say.

A glass, a bottle or leave it to us

We always have a generous and ever-changing selection of interesting wines available by the glass, so trying something new doesn’t have to mean ordering a whole bottle.

Every one of our menus can also be enjoyed with a wine pairing. We’ll choose the wines and bring each one with the dish we’ve selected it for, telling you as much — or as little — about it as you’d like to know.

At dinner, our Prestige Wine Pairing gives us the opportunity to delve a little deeper into the cellar and pour some particularly special wines alongside Paul’s menu.

Or forget pairings altogether. Choose a bottle you love and drink it throughout dinner. There really are no rules.

Naturally considered

Many of the growers on our list work organically, biodynamically or with minimal intervention. We like producers who care about their land, look after their soils and allow the character of a grape, vintage and place to find its way into the glass.

You’ll find some celebrated names alongside producers you may never have encountered before. We’re equally excited about both.

Because ultimately, wine at The Forest Side isn’t about knowing the right thing to order.

It’s about finding something you love drinking. And we can help with that.
