Savvy's Verdict

"Welcome to the GreyFriars Hotel & Restaurant wine list, where sharp deal hunters will find remarkable drinking opportunities tucked alongside classic cellar staples. While glass pours carry a noticeable markup making full bottle purchases far better per-millilitre value, the bottle list boasts extraordinary low-markup treasures like Chablis 1er Cru Montmains Brocard 2023 at barely over retail cost and Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Lenotti 2022. Critical acclaim shines bright here, headlined by world-class heavyweights such as Barbaresco Produttori del Barbaresco 2018 with a 4.5 Vivino score and Krug Grande Cuvée 171st Edition scoring 4.6. Smart diners can feast like royalty without paying typical restaurant markups if they target these top-tier bottles."
