The selection of wine at Gordon’s is vast and varied (as one would expect at a “wine” bar) and the prices are very reasonable. Bottles start at around £14 and glasses at £4. Red drinkers can indulge with a bottle of Rioja Siglo 1881 (£19.50), a medium bodied wine with flavours of spice, vanilla and strawberry. White drinkers might want to try the light and refreshing Vin de Pays Blanc (£14.60), a fruity and easy-to-drink white, that is nicely made into a Kir with a dash of Crème de Cassis. Gordon’s also has a nice selection of sparkling wines, Champagne, Sherries, Madeira’s and Ports. Be sure to check out their blackboard for wine specials.
For those who want some nibbles with their wine, a cheese plate to share is a great option (£11.25). Pick three cheeses from a good selection (Rustique Artisan Camembert and Cropwell Bishop Stilton are definite winners) and they will be transferred onto a platter accompanied by oven baked French bread, pickled onions, gherkins and pickle. A perfect pairing with Gordon’s lovely wines.
