Hi! Your old pal Natty Boy has evolved into Parched. We grew up a bit, but just like before, we provide properly made drinks that taste good. That means wine, hard liquor and things for those who aren't drinking but still want their thirst quenched. We also have a tonne of fancy things to go alongside your fancy drinks.
Parched is here to quench an ever broader range of thirsts, from natural and mind bending to cult classic. We do it all so that you can have it all.
Fresh Arrivals
Parched + Side Piece Present: Curro Barreño (Vitícola Mentridana & Fedellos)
It's been a minute between events, and we could think of few better ways to kick off the 2026 Wine Calendar down on the Dalston Riviera.
We're extremely excited to be joined by Curro from Vitícola Mentridana & Fedellos over in Spain. We are long time fans of both projects, as are you by the looks, so it is a pleasure to cordially invite 14 lucky guests for an evening of elite wine and somehow better vibes.
Mentridana is his project in the Gredos Mountains near Madrid, focussing on Grenache grown on other worldly granitic terroir. For Fedellos we head north into the rugged Ribeira Sacra where the emphasis is Mencia planted on ancient, precipitous terraces.
You know what to do...
Here are the details:

Parched Magazine: Issue 001
Ever read our emails and been like wow, what interesting, funny, slightly profane writing! I wish I could read 59 more pages of it!
Wish granted!
Introducing Parched Magazine - a quarterly publication of our general musings, ramblings and recommendations about wine. As with all things we do, there's something in here for everyone, whether you're a proper cork dork or a total novice. There's a bit of science, a bit of opinion, and a lot of average chat. It's a good read, if we say so ourselves. Issue 001 features an interview with Domaine Ratte by Jura expert Wink Lorch, an in-depth explanation about why you're wrong about Riesling, and a re-telling of one magical, hedonistic trip to Austria. Plus a lot more.
Go find a bottle you’ve been saving for an occasion, bust it open and enjoy.
Enjoy, winos xoxo
Everybody Loves Parched, and These
Direct Imports // Imported Direct // Producers We Love
We have the incredibly tough job of venturing overseas a few times a year to seek out fresh producers. It is hard work, and you are welcome. Here's who we currently represent...
Dan's
Opened in January 2022, Dan's has become one of the reference point wine bars of London (their words...). Here we offer the entire Parched range, as well as some other, harder to find gems that don't find their way onto the website. The vibe is ultra casual, and we're blessed with a huge, south facing suntrap on the Dalston Riviera. It's a winey dream. Cya there.
TEMPO
a wine bar and restaurant serving modern South East Asian cooking,
poured and plated with care.
