Savvy's Verdict

"The Duck on the Pond wine list has been analysed by SavvySipper. If you are drinking by the glass, order the Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 Hut Block, Richard Hamilton, which defies standard restaurant math by costing slightly less per drop by the glass than by the bottle. For high-end white Burgundy lovers, the Meursault Cuvee Charles Maxime Latour Giraud 2023 is a steal at a bare 100% markup while scoring a massive 4.4 rating on Vivino. Sparkling enthusiasts should skip basic Prosecco and jump straight to the Hope & Harrow Reserve No.8 NV Brut, which offers top-tier English craftsmanship at an unexpectedly modest price point."
