Wine at La Scala Deli
The city boasts countless watering holes, with my favourite being the monthly wine tastings at La Scala Deli. Co-owner Xavier is a vivacious blend: born in Italy, raised in Spain, and now calling the UK home. He’s a talented sommelier who is as entertaining as he is knowledgeable. The deli serves light meals throughout the day, where customers come and go for their Italian fix, and on tasting days, it transforms into an evening café.
Tastings start with an aperitivo in the candlelit setting, followed by Xavier’s welcome and an overview of the evening’s wines. The wines (mostly Italian) are briefly introduced with tasting notes before the tasting and discussion begin. Cheese and bread boards accompany the experience, with other tempting nibbles available to order. The Wine and Dine evenings elevate tastings further, offering a five-course tasting menu.
