Chablis, Rioja, Napa Valley - words that conjure up the world of wine, a world of sun, scenery and tradition. With our wine list we have tried to bring that world to you. We hope you can find your favourite grape or style of wine, region or country or even a new discovery in the Red Lion world of wine. Ask us about new wines, additional wines and bin ends. We are constantly evolving our wine list and our cellar may well have that special wine just for you.
