The wine list at The Cross is highly acclaimed and we are delighted that we won the AA Wine Award for Scotland in 2006/2007 and again for 2009/2010.

The list changes frequently as old vintages are drunk and new wines are introduced and will continue to develop in line with our own tastes, featuring wines that we are able to enthuse about.

In addition to our full list, we regularly offer bin-ends.

We offer a tempting selection of cognac, armagnac, calvados, and eaux de vie - and whisky aficionados are not forgotten with a choice of around 40 malts including some rare bottles and of course a range of local whiskies from the nearby Dalwhinnie and Speyside distilleries.

Our list was also named Scottish wine list of the year 2010 by Imbibe Magazine in conjunction with Louis Roederer.

The wine list at The Cross was short-listed alongside renowned wine meccas such as Hotel TerraVina in the New Forest , the Harrow Inn at Little Bledwyn, the Old Bridge at Huntingdon and the Bell at Skenrith so even although we didn't win the overall UK title we were honoured. Here's what the judges said:

"This list really did an awful lot of things right. For a smallish restaurant, it uses a lot of suppliers, which makes for a lot of good, interesting wines, and it has really made an effort to sell them to the customers in a way that makes sense. In this case that means by varietal - with helpful food-matching tips. Sauvignon Blanc, for instance is described as 'great with goats cheese, fish and chips, mackerel and citrus sauces'. Each wine also has a small tasting note - and the judges loved the little ambulance logo for wines of over 14% abv".

A note re. bringing your own wine.

We would rather you didn't bring your own wines to The Cross. We do recognise, however, that to celebrate a special occasion you may wish to drink something you've been storing under the bed for twenty five years. In these circumstances only, and strictly where we are unable to supply something similar ourselves, we shall serve your wines for a corkage charge of £20 per bottle (still wine) or £25 per bottle (champagne). Under no circumstances can we be held liable for the quality of the wine or any spillage or loss incurred during service.
