One of the Valley's best bars welcomes heritage-listed sister venue
For wines, Wagner is focusing on drops from Spain, Chile and Argentina, with the initial list running to around 60 bottles. Ask her to show you some – she's particularly proud of a Korinta chasselas, a Cacique Maravilla pipeno (which roughly translates to 'peasant wine') made from pais grapes – both from Chile – and a Matias Riccitelli malbec from Argentina. 'I was really keen to cut into more niche portfolios,' she says. 'By its nature with wine, you tend to learn about the terroir of a place, its geography. You're learning about the cultures and the history.' There are also snacks such as tinned sardines and octopus, Superbon Madrid crisps, and deli boards you can compile yourself with items such as a terrine and a cherry duck pate. It might be a more grown-up version of Dark Red, but Dark Blue still only has 30 seats. In short, get there early after work if you want to grab a seat.
