Chauncy, Heathcote

Chauncy’s co-owner and sommelier is so driven by her guests’ enjoyment, she’ll keep pouring splashes of wine until you both agree that this pairing is The One. It’s not torturous – far from it. In just a few minutes, you’ll gain more insight than most wine classes can offer into how lees and acid can transform what you taste in a sauce.

The warm and instinctive way Murray talks about her French-leaning wine list brings everyone along, whether or not you know your Saint-Aubin chardonnay from your Saint-Veran. Many people try to make wine fun; few do it so well.
