Degustations

This is our very favourite way of eating and our homage, if you like, to the old adage “Variety is the Spice of Life”.

The resultant combination of flavours and textures created between the food and wine pairings makes for an experience that will linger. 

Cheers! Jo & Peter Reschke & Nigel Rich
