Great venues are led by great minds and great personalities. Owner/sommelier Foni Pollitt has both. The wine list at Mayfair Lane in West Perth is carefully selected and expansive in its offering, traversing the major wine growing regions across the globe. Each section offers something interesting, whether it is artisanal non-alcoholic drinks, hard to find Western Australian cult wines, large format super premiums, elite grower Champagnes, or great, old bottles of wine from around Australia and overseas. The selection of spirits, aperitifs, digestifs and all associated after-dinner delights is jaw-dropping, and the cellar list is something to behold.
Pollitt has expertly curated this collection of drinks with the drinker in mind – everything is delicious. Nothing has been included that does not belong. We love the write-up at the beginning about ‘volcanic wines’, which conveys her drive and enthusiasm for all things vinous. Mayfair Lane has created a space for itself in the heart of Perth that is perfect for dropping by for a quick drink after work, or settling in for dinner with one of the 52 wines by the glass. This list has it all. Santé Foni. Erin Larkin
