121BC in Surry Hills Menu

121BC refers to a vintage of Falernian wine â€“ an acclaimed â€˜cruâ€™ of the Roman age, considered by many ancient sources to be the vintage of a lifetime. Pliny The Elder records that Julius Caesar, upon being served the famous vintage (more than 60 years later), said, â€œDude, this vino is incredibleâ€. 121BC focuses on small artisan producers, Italian local varieties, sustainability in wine growing, and minimal intervention in wine- making. Take a stroll through our wine shop, where wines are arranged by region. You can pick up a bottle to drink in the wine bar, or alternatively, wines by the glass are available. The list is changed regularly, so visit â€œWineâ€ to see the current lineup. The ever-changing food menu is simple, and like the wine, is based on all the regions of Italy. The focus is on seasonal produce and sharing plates.
