Aunt Sally

Aunt Sally is a hugely popular pub game in the county of Oxfordshire and is a thriving sport that has spread to other areas of England in recent times. The idea is simply to knock the Aunt Sally doll cleanly off a swivel on the top of a post by throwing wooden sticks at it. It's an old game that is great fun, whether you're playing in a pub league or less seriously in a pub garden!

Wine

Served in 125ml/175ml/250ml and by the bottle

McGuigan Black Label Merlot

The juicy Merlot grapes in this wine give it a red berry and raspberry jam flavour, with a tickle of caramel, cinnamon and vanilla scent and a twist of oak.

Trivento Reserve Malbec

A bright crimson red whose plum and raspberry aromas mingle elegantly with vanilla notes from the 6 months aged in French oak barrels.

Grant Burge Shiraz

Aromas of ripe plums with hints of liquorice and vanilla. A full-bodied wine, it displays soft tannins and a long finish.

Brancott Estate Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc, is predominantly a pale straw with hints of green. On the palate, flavours of grapefruit, honeydew melon, and passionfruit contribute to the ripe fruit sweetness combined with a tight, fresh acidity. This is a beautifully balanced wine.

McGuigan Black Label Chardonnay

A touch of oak makes this a versatile wine that will accompany all food styles, in particular pasta and chicken dishes.

Canaletto Pinot Grigio

A lovely Pinot Grigio blend with an appealing floral aroma, plenty of fresh fruit flavours on the palate and a rush of citrus acidity, making it perfectly balanced and totally refreshing. An elegant style of wine.

Via Nova Pinot Grigio Blush

A light and refreshing rose, with fresh cranberry and raspberry notes on the nose. On the palate the wine is crisp with some citrus flavours coupled with a core of red fruit such as Strawberries. Lovely and easy drinking
