My friends and I recently enjoyed a meal at the Wine Cove in one of their private dining spaces with a wide variety of food and some interesting wine pairings.

We started off with a dry Manzanilla to accompany a spread of appetizers. I enjoyed the Tuna Mini Cone and Jamon Bikini in particular, although we also tried the Trio of Dip, the Para Picar and the Roasted Romanesco.

My favourite wine of the evening was the Verdejo, a fruity light-bodied white wine that was very easy to drink. It paired excellently with the Clams a la Marinera and Barbeque Skate.

We finished off with a PX Sherry, which was a little too sweet for me personally, but was smooth, syrupy and helped to enhance the savoury, caramel flavour of the Burnt Cheese Cake that we had for dessert.

Overall, the Wine Cove provides a highly satisfying dining experience with excellent food, drink and service. I look forward my next visit.
