Three glasses, and one very special mention worth raising them to.
The judges at the Australian W**e List of the Year Awards 2026 highlighted what may be the largest collection of Raveneau Chablis in an Australian pub, alongside the depth of our collection, thoughtful selection of producers and dedication to cellaring.
We’re incredibly proud to once again be awarded 3 Glasses, the highest glass rating reserved for outstanding w**e lists.
A wonderful recognition of Katarina Lange, Kamiya Parekh and the entire team behind a w**e program built with care over many years.
Here’s to the next bottle.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and for sharing a few moments from the afternoon with us.
