Perfectly Poured for Every Occasion
Whether you are joining us for a long lunch, a candlelit dinner, or a private poker evening, our team will guide you to the right bottle, magnum, or tasting flight to suit the mood and menu.
Wine Pairing Philosophy
At Tablee And Grill, wine is an extension of the kitchen. Our chefs and sommeliers collaborate on every menu, tasting each course alongside multiple pairings before the wine list is finalised. The goal is not to impress with labels, but to enhance every texture, aroma, and detail on the plate.
We consider structure, acidity, tannin, aromatics, and temperature to ensure your glass never overpowers the cuisine. Whether you choose a single bottle or a course-by-course pairing, our team weaves a story of flavour and terroir that follows your meal from aperitif to final pour.
- Thoughtful pairings for our seasonal menu and chef's signature dishes
- Guided recommendations for private dining and corporate functions
- Flexible pairings tailored to dietary preferences and intensity of flavour

For connoisseurs and collectors, our reserve list reveals the deeper layers of the cellar: back-vintage releases, rare allocations, and benchmark wines from iconic producers. These bottles are stored under strict temperature and humidity control to ensure they show at their absolute best.
Many of these wines are available in highly limited quantities, secured through long-standing relationships with select vineyards and importers. Your sommelier will be pleased to share provenance, cellaring history, and ideal serving recommendations.
An Unforgettable Bottle
Mark anniversaries, celebrations, or key corporate milestones with a bottle chosen from our reserve collection. We can coordinate decanting, glassware, and service timing to harmonise with your menu and occasion.
Enquire About Reserve SelectionsWine for Poker Evenings
Our reservation-only poker evenings are centred on conviviality, conversation, and the pleasure of being around the table. Wine service is crafted to complement the pace of the evening—supporting relaxed focus, laughter, and shared discovery rather than formality.
Thoughtful Tableside Service
Choose from food-friendly reds, crisp whites, or low-intervention styles that pair beautifully with our late-evening menu. Our team can recommend bottles that stay expressive over the course of the night, so your glass evolves alongside the game.
All poker evenings at Tablee And Grill are hosted exclusively on-site as part of a broader dining and hospitality experience. There is no online gaming or remote play; the focus remains firmly on fine cuisine, premium beverages, and the atmosphere of a live, well-hosted night out.
To design a tailored wine selection for your group’s poker evening, we recommend sharing your guest preferences and menu choices in advance.
Private Tasting Experiences
Transform your next gathering into a sommelier-led tasting, tailored to your guests and the occasion. From intimate private dining in one of our secluded spaces to elevated corporate functions, we design each tasting as a bespoke event.
Experiences may explore a single region, compare varietals across hemispheres, or follow a progression from aperitif to digestif. Along the way, your sommelier will share insights into winemaking philosophies, vineyard stories, and pairing principles you can carry into future dining experiences.
