Savvy's Verdict

"The Ancient Mariner Inn wine list: Rarely does a cellar surrender its treasures with such charming nonchalance, evidenced by an extraordinarily low 13% margin on a standout magnum of O Rosal Albariño, Bodegas Terras Gauda. Fine wine enthusiasts will immediately spot the top-tier, high-rated triumphs... notably the 2019 Syrah, Le Sol, Craggy Range, Gimblett Gravels, and the ever-sublime Billecart-Salmon Brut Rosé. Thoughtfully curated, the selection champions local English sparkling producers alongside a few delightfully intriguing orange wine options. Ultimately, it achieves that rare dining room magic, effortlessly balancing accessible entry-level options with incredible value across its entire premium portfolio."
