The World of Wine can be complex to the uninitiated

tongues (your taste buds were put there, I believe, to

taste wine of character !)

In our planning of a new list for the Angel, I wanted to choose a well

balanced selection of wines. In my view, the result is the best wine list to

date. If you require any guidance, please ask a member of my staff who

will help you in choosing a wine that is right for you.

Please ask for the full wine list on arriving as many more are available !

Cheers !
