Savvy's Verdict

"The Talbot Inn wine list offers some killer high-end bargains if you know where to look, starting with the Ultimate Provence Rosé Magnum sitting at an insanely low 29% markup. If you are looking for premium reds, skip the entry-level options and head straight for the Volnay Vieilles Vignes, Sylvain Debord or Barolo Classico, Brezza, both offering stellar quality at barely a 110% margin. White wine lovers craving a crowd-pleasing big hitter should order the Brookdale Old Vine Chenin Blanc, which boasts a brilliant 4.3 Vivino rating. For mid-week glass drinking, ordering a 500ml carafe of Vermentino di Sardegna delivers fantastic value compared to standard pours."
