Uncorked: Lola Chisholm-White
Lola Chisholm-White, head of wine at Edinburgh’s Margot and Leftfield, shares her story.
Introduction to Wine
Growing up, her parents worked in hospitality, surrounding her with the industry. As she got older, she would "pinch wine" from their restaurant cellar, developing a love for great wine.
Wine Lists at Margot and Leftfield
The wine lists at both establishments feature only organic/biodynamic wines without compromising on taste. Lola enjoys hearing the stories behind the winemakers and working with small, family-owned businesses.
- All wines are either practising or certified organic/biodynamic.
- The lists evolve constantly, with the glass list changing weekly.
- This allows guests and staff to taste various styles.
I would pinch wine from our restaurant cellar (sorry mum and dad), which turned into a love for great wine.
