Wines

We have hand picked our wines to cater for most tastes, and are constantly on the look out for interesting wines to add to our list. If you don’t see your particular favourite let us know and we’ll see if we can add it to the list for you!

We do monthly wine tasting classes with our mate Adam Speechly, he knows his stuff, and he’s a dashing sort too, a real “dish”! Ask at the bar for the next “session”. They’re a laugh. No wine snobs, just real wine and real people - getting really pissed.

Red Wine

> Sangiovese, Fratelli Pasqua 2004: Italy: rich in fruit, medium bodied, soft on the pallet and plummy, very quaffable with firm texture and long finish, excellent, all day. It’s rumoured that this is Ed’s blood type also.

175ml £3.50; 250ml £4.50; btl £12.95;

> El Emperador Merlot- 2002 Chile : Big, round, plummy, too much sends your lips purple and leads to bouts of singing. It’s great. Get it whilst it’s hot.
175ml £3.50; 250ml £4.50; btl £12.95;

> Willowglen Shiraz Cabernet 2002: Australia: by Royal approval, eskimo’s proud to present this full bodied, full flavoured big hitter, with complex fruit and endless finish it’s a meal in a bottle.

175ml £2.95; 250ml £3.95; btl £11.95;

Champagne

Eskimo champagne cocktails: serious ****
Ok, we’re just gonna go mad here, we’re on the back page, if you’ve got this far, you either don’t care, or don’t know what you’re doing.
The madness increases as we progress down the page….
Just remember, you only live once. And you can’t take it to the grave with you. And dropping it in eskimo is more tax efficient than inheritance tax, and less of a headache. Everyone’s a winner!

> Eskimo Kiss: forget nose rubbing, we’re crushing raspberries, throwing caution to the wind in a shaker with Chambord and premium finlandia, then double straining the thing into a big martini glass and layering, yes, layering pink champagne onto it. Would you believe that? You get a kiss from your preferred member of staff for an extra 5’er, no tongues till after closing. Thanks. And that’s extra, see Ed for details.
Bargain Cheap as Chips £6.95 you should feel ashamed, it’s not nearly expensive enough.

> Bellini: the legend never dies. Fresh, peachy peaches muddled with peachy schnapps AND finlandia vodka, and if that wasn’t good enough, it’s only topped with champagne! Where’s it all going to end tell me that!? Tell me that!? There’ll be tears! Mark my words!
Bargain: a deal, a steal, sale of the ****ing century! £6.95. and that’s not happy hour, that’s all day!

> Luxury Cosmo: for those of you who’d spit Carry Bradshaw or whatever her name is out like she was an old “better to share” wriggleys, then step on her in your Jimmy Choo (Bon Marche who can tell??!), or slap her round the head with your Chloe, the slut, I MEAN WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS!? Anyway, it’s a cosmo, but with GREY GOOSE and layered with pink or white champagne, up to you! I prefer the white it looks better, but up to you, “babe”.
Bargain Basement New Years Sale Price of £7.95. and yes, that’s all day.

> The Lord Atkinson: available only, when ordered in 4’s (that’s 1glass times 4). Louis Roederer Cristal 1999/2000, with course lump brown sugar and Remy XO “float” served in extra tall exuberant champagne flutes. A ridiculous £65 a glass. So a trifling £260 for four. Made at your table in full view of jaw dropping mystified fellow customers, and eagle-eyed tax inspectors. You just know you want one. Go on, you get to keep the bottle, the glasses, and we’ll even allow those tacky key ring photographers to take photos of you being “a little excessive” as my mother puts it. (you won’t mind if we ask for pre-payment on this one, you never know hey.)

More Champagne...

After women, simply the best way in which to waste one’s money. Go for your life!
