Uncorked: William Sheard

🍷 William Sheard, co-owner of Ibai steak restaurant, curates a wine list with around 175 options, focusing on bottles produced in the first 20 years of the 21st century. The list aims to offer various styles at different price points, ensuring wines are at their optimal drinking age. The Miros de Ribera Reserva stands out for its value, imported directly from the winery for over a decade. Sheard respects Alvaro Palacios from Priorat and enjoys wines like Trevallon 2014 for their harmony and identifiable grape components.
