Thanks for the Vivino link. As for the HobNob Cad Sav, it was very nice, no complaints at all. It was the cheapest red on the wine list, and there is no need to spend any more unless you really know what you are doing (we don't).

Here is the menu. The food is of a high standard and very well presented. The portions are not big, but that's perfect for a free flow deal. You get baskets of excellent fresh bread and chilled butter. Chicken Cordon Bleu is excellent, so to the Pork alla Milanese with spaghetti in a tomato sauce (sorry @truffledog)

Thanks for that, I would be interested to to know what other wines they sell and their prices. The fact that the Hob Nob was the cheapest on the list at $30 is a bit worrying - suggesting that any vintage wine will be way overpriced. A vintage Bordeaux Superior at the restaurant I frequent starts at $19 a bottle which is very good value and I would be happy to pay up to $30 at any other place.
As you say the Hob Nob is a very nice wine and I would be happy to pay $15 or may be $17 a for a bottle at a restaurant but not $30. I realise you hadn't much choice, four bottles of acceptable wine at less than acceptable price.
