Forget everything your nan taught you about sherry. 🥂

, the world’s biggest celebration of sherry, starts today, and we’re opening it in style tonight downstairs with González Byass. 🇪🇸

Back in 1835, a young Manuel María González started making w**e in Jerez. His uncle José, “Tío Pepe”, helped him on his way, and he named his fino after him. Nearly 200 years on, Tío Pepe is the most famous sherry in the world. 🍋

📅 TONIGHT, Monday 2nd November, 7:30pm
🍷 Six sherries, from a bone-dry Tío Pepe Fino En Rama to a rich, glossy Néctar Pedro Ximénez
🍽️ Each paired with food from our kitchen: Gilda pintxos, slow-braised ox cheek, and boca negra with vanilla ice cream
🎙️ Hosted by Bryan Smith from González Byass UK

£70pp. Last few places.

📞 Call 0207 734 7807 to grab a seat.

Can’t make it? Sherry Week runs all week, so come down for a glass. 🥂

55 years. Same cellar. Brand new menu. 🍷

From today, there’s something new on the table downstairs at Cork & Bottle. 🍽️ Think veal Holstein, Swordfish and King Oyster mushrooms, all built to go with a 300-bin w**e list. 🧀🥖

And before you ask – yes, the ham & cheese pie is staying. Some things you don’t touch. 🥧

To celebrate, we’re giving away dinner for two from the new menu. 🎉

Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivé! 🍷🇫🇷🎉

🏎️✈️🎈 Every November since the 1970s, people have raced to be first to get the new Beaujolais from France to London, by car, plane and even hot-air balloon. We’d rather just open the bottles 🍾

🗓️ On Thursday 19th November, join us in the cellar for both lunch and an evening of fun and frivolity 🥂, with the new vintage flowing and a French supper to match:

🧅 French onion soup
🥩 Boeuf bourguignon

🥖 Berets optional. Bonhomie compulsory 😉

🥂 “I’m just staying for one.”

Famous last words, at Cork & Bottle.

Our Ch*****ne Indulgence is the sort of thing that turns one glass into an afternoon: a half bottle of Don Hewitson’s finest, poured against Scottish smoked salmon with crispy capers, horseradish and baguette.

Ch*****ne and smoked salmon — a pairing that’s outlasted every trend that tried to replace it, and will outlast the next one too.

£49, dine in, while it lasts.

Tag the friend you’d happily lose an afternoon with. 🥂. *****ne **e

🍷 California Dreaming — Monday Evening

The heatwave’s fading, the evening’s cooling down, and we’ve got the perfect way to spend it.

This Monday we’re hosting an exceptional Californian w**e tasting - one of my favourite regions. Two of the great varietals done properly: 6 beautiful Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays, matched with some smoked salmon, juicy pork tenderloin and cheese.

Your host for the evening is Andrew Meltzer from Berkmann W**e Cellars - someone who really knows how to bring these w**es to life.

Cool w**es. Beautiful food. Great company.
