 | | | 67 Pall Mall Photo: © Paul Winch-Furness | | | Wine On Time | | | It’s picking season in the world of wine, and we’re also feeling like London can’t get enough of grapes right now | | It’s been a great year for vintages in the city, and it’s not just about what we’re drinking anymore, but where. We’ve had launches like Clarette in Marylebone and Comptoir in Mayfair, and now Ten Trinity Square adds its Private Club. It’s an ambitious renovation from some formidable forces: Four Seasons, Château Latour and Reignwood Group, and inside, it’s all about the Château Latour Discovery Room and tasting one of the world’s rarest whites – the Château Grillet. Membership applications are open now – apply!
67 Pall Mall (#UJLoves their members-only wine storage) also just finished its extension, which will add 3,800 wines to its already impressive wine list (bringing the the total to over 5,000). They’ve relaxed the dress code too, so you won’t need a jacket to dine – meaning it will be easier for members to swing by without booking ahead – perfect for a spontaneous glass of something.
And finally, toast to the end of picking season with Honest Grapes Fine Wine Tasting at Maison Assouline. Ranging from Grand Crew Burgundian reds to limited edition whites from South Africa, this is a night for stocking up on some new favourites.
Go celebrate the harvest!

Time to turn the tables on the critic for one night only.

| | | Tulum Treehouse | | | Just like the one from your childhood - but with a concierge | | | We don’t need much convincing to stay in our own private, fully serviced treehouse in the midst of Mexico’s tropical jungle and nearby coast. Bridging the gap between Airbnb, private residence and luxury hotel, it makes the most of the beautiful natural surroundings, with optional breakfast in bed.

| | One to Watch | |  | |  | | Kali Uchis | | | The Colombian-American R&B artist you need to know | | | ‘Tyrant’ was a firm fixture on the UJHQ playlist this summer, and we still can’t get enough of singer-songwriter and Instagram queen Kali Uchis. Her chill new track Nuestro Planeta has got us even more excited for the drop of her debut. Keep your ears peeled.

 |  | | Ali Borer | | | Ahead of the long-awaited opening of the second Smoking Goat in Shoreditch this November, head chef Ali Borer tells us his fave spots.
| | Which London restaurant is your current fave?
Sager + Wilde on Paradise Row, it’s owned by a friend of mine.
Where do you go for a culture fix?
It’s hard for me to get anywhere as I work such long hours – so my fix tends to come from a book, or just walking around different areas of London.
Favourite international restaurant?
Nahm in Bangkok – I was just there for a research trip.
Where do you go for a night out?
I live in North East London, so I’m usually at the Finsbury pub, or somewhere on Stoke Newington Church Street.
And a morning off?
Green Lanes for a strong black Turkish coffee and a menemen.
