With the exciting new addition of Shiv as Head Sommelier, BOCA has to have one of the most exciting wine programs I have seen in the city.

The ethos here is really about sustainability, and showcasing that through their wine list is something that is ever-evolving in the venue. This is a great place for wine lovers to discover new and exciting varietals and producers at a very quaffable price point.

La Petite Maison, known by many as simply LPM, there is no denying this has to be one of the city's staple restaurants. For all things French, it is hard to deny that it truly takes the cake. The team of sommeliers here is attentive, knowledgeable, and always happy to share, and LPM has to be one of the best places to enjoy Champagne and sparkling wine of all levels!

Ranging from sparkling from Provence to Krug and an extensive range of Rosé de Provence, perfect for afternoon drinking on a hot summer's day (which is all year round here), has never been an easier choice...
