There’s a wide-range of alcoholic beverages that are designed to whet the appetite: Champagnes and sparkling wines, cocktails and beers. Sherries (especially fino, manzanilla,and amontillado), vermouths, pastis and herb-flavoured liqueurs. Banksii Vermouth Bar & Bistro was the very worthy recipient of Best Aperitif List at the 2020 Australia’s Wine List of the Year Awards.
Judges comments:
An accomplished, up-to-the-minute wine list that is a bursting with bright, well-executed ideas that make for great reading, let alone drinking. Few wine lists are so well-rounded with the categories equally weighted. The diverse array of offerings also reflect the author’s knowledge, depth and experience of beverages other than wine, and vermouth, for which Banksii is known. Tasteful champagne list also. The attention to detail is apparent, down to the grammar, presentation and clean lines that are so often lacking. It is the detailed content and finishing touches that set this list apart.
