Back in January, we had a night of wine and food at The
Sampler in South Kensington and what a great place. I found this place by accident when Dave and
I took Sam to the Natural History Museum and thought we’d give it a try.
With a fantastic wine list, accompanied by an assortment of
French style snacks (cheese, meats, pate, etc) and a basement seating area, I
can’t recommend this place highly enough.
There’s no wine list as such as it is a wine shop at ground floor and
any wine can be bought to drink downstairs with a £7.50 corkage fee. In addition to this, they also have a number
of tasting machines, with 80 different wines to try, including an “icon” which
includes 8 iconic wines to try.
From the machines I tried a glass of The Cream by First
Drop, a top shelf shiraz from the Barossa.
We also had a bottle of Bramare Malbec from Argentina, a large Italian
Barbera and an equally enjoyable Amorone.
All I can say is, next chance you get, check this place out
for an evening, hugely enjoyable!
Cheers,
John.
