Lamb & Wine

November 4, 2012 by Maureen

Matching wines with Salmon

July 30, 2012 by Maureen

The best wine pairing for salmon? Growing up by the sea in the west of Ireland, we always enjoyed fresh wild salmon during the summer months. Years later I discovered that by pairing it with the right type of wine, it made a meal fit for a king. Nowadays, fresh wild salmon in Ireland is […]

Napa wine and food experience

January 6, 2011 by Maureen

Last year’s wine highlight for me was a long-overdue visit to California, where I spent a week in the Napa valley. Hot days, tempered by foggy mornings, shade from the mountains to the east and west, precious alluvial fans, and altitude variations up to 2,600 feet create a very special environment for quality Cabernets and […]

Goat’s cheese and Sauvignon Blanc

August 20, 2010 by Maureen

Talking to people in the wine business, it is obvious that Sauvignon Blanc is THE fashionable grape variety of 2010!  Typically dry, with good acidity and, depending on where it is grown, oozing with herbaceous and tropical fruit character (Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc) or showing elegant mineral character with some grassiness (Loire Valley).  Add an extra dimension to your Sauvignon […]
