[title]Beyond the beaches, scorching deserts and snowcapped peaks of California, the state’s fertile soils combined with the dry, sunny climate make for A-grade viticulture. Discerning drinkers ought to know this already, but almost 80 per cent of American wine comes from California. And while you can find a glass of California’s good stuff in Australia year-round, those globally renowned bottles are the centrepiece of a limited-time menu at Reine & La Rue to celebrate California Wine Month.
All September long, diners at Reine & La Rue will be able to order from a limited menu of California-made wines and bourbons. By the glass, you’ll be able to order Hartford Court Sevens Bench Chardonnay from Carneros, the Napa Valley-grown 2021 Robert Mondavi Fumé Blanc, 2024 Au Bon Climat Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara County, and another Napa-bottled favourite, the 2021 Freemark Abbey Cabernet Sauvignon.
September also marks Bourbon Heritage Month, and the hatted Melbourne dining room couldn't let America’s quintessential spirit be forgotten, so you can also tuck into a limited-time tipple inspired by the whiskey sour. Expect a Yellowstone Bourbon base alongside mandarin, lemon, toasted rice orgeat and pastis, as well as other bourbon choices like Angel’s Envy and Woodford Reserve.
This limited-time menu will be available for all regular bookings at Reine & La Rue throughout September. Make a booking here.
