Wine list

“Courage is knowing it might
hurt and doing it anyway.
Stupidity is the same.”

Those words are on the Johan Deckmann artwork that hangs here on our wall. Luckily, our wines keep things simple: nothing here hurts. From everyday to extraordinary, from a six-euro glass to a bottle you open once in a lifetime — it’s all on one list, and all fairly priced. Be brave, go exploring.

Our list reads like a world port. France is the foundation, but this is Rotterdam: Italy, Spain, the rest of Europe, the Americas and Africa are never far away. Our Champagnes are simply listed by price, small growers and grand houses side by side. We keep adding to the list and refining it.

Feel free to ask our sommelier Josiane for advice. And remember: life is too short for bad wine. That’s why you won’t find any on our list.
