Wine director Barnaby Lewis has expertly crafted our wine list with an extensive range of exciting wines ready to drink and well-priced. From unique and rare gems to classic varieties, less known wine regions and grapes.
Barnaby and the team have blind tasted our wines to reach an honest and fair perspective on quality, ensuring your wine is expertly chosen.
We have an outstanding wine cellar; however, we enjoy hosting your own collection for you and pairing your bottles alongside our food. We have no limits on how many bottles you can bring, but we do like to know in advance, so that we can be prepared and ensure that your wine is handled with the right level of care and attention.
Please email your requirements to info@cornusrestaurant.co.uk
Lunch time £20 per bottle (75cl)
Evening £40 per bottle (75cl)
Head Sommelier Barnaby is one of the rising young talents of London’s wine scene bringing an exciting enthusiasm and dedication to the wine programme at Cornus.
Originally from Chichester, West Sussex, Barnaby started his career as a bartender turned mixologist, creating some of his own original cocktails which are featured on the Cornus bar menu today. After an exquisite bottle of 2015 Château Batailley (Bordeaux), Barnaby fell in love with wine and left mixology behind, moving to Cornus’ sister restaurant Medlar on the King’s Road.
Barnaby took the reins of the Cornus wine programme from Melania at the start of 2026 and has since gone on to achieve 3rd place in the Young UK Sommelier of the Year Competition, in which he won the Gerard Basset Trophy for best blind tasting with the highest score in the competition’s history.
Barnaby’s vibrant, expansive philosophy to Cornus aims to shine a light on previously overlooked grape varieties and wine regions while letting the classics speak for themselves across a multitude of vintages. When picking a wine to enjoy, he frequently turns to Champagne or Sicilian wines.
