It’s not just pink..

June 4, 2020 by Maureen

“It’s not just pink” was the message from a Château d’Esclans Provence Rosé wine tasting last week.   The property’s most famous wine is Whispering Angel. This wine is credited with a Rosé revolution – in terms of improving the quality and style of Rosé, changing wine drinkers’ perception, and marketing it as a premium drink. […]

Learn about Ribeiro

April 24, 2020 by Maureen

When I’m not buying wines for wine courses, I find myself buying wines with lower acidity.  Ribeiro whites ticked that box, at a recent wine tasting. Ribeiro D.O. is in Spain’s Galicia region, in the north-west of the country, on the Portuguese border, some 30km from the Atlantic.  Its tradition of vine-growing dates back at […]

Chianti Classico – green, religious & not how you might expect

March 20, 2020 by Maureen

Luckily for me, I’ve a great excuse to visit wine regions as part of my never-ending wine education! And if I can visit with friends, all the better!  Chianti Classico was one such trip.  A green and fertile land: Chianti Classico DOCG extends over 7,000 hectares, from Florence southwards to Pisa.  Its rolling hills are […]

Alsace – 10 key facts

May 11, 2018 by Maureen

  I met someone last week who was surprised that I knew where Colmar was. But of course, for any wine lover, it’s the heart of Alsace!  Having learned so much about its history and geology through the French Wine Scholar  course, I was thrilled to visit the area a couple of years ago. Ireland’s […]

Learn about wine: Barbaresco

March 1, 2018 by Maureen

Barbaresco is perhaps one of the most muscular red wines on the planet – pale yet full-bodied, firmly tannic, with high acidity. In youth it gives earth, violets, roses and tart red fruit, becoming more tarry, leathery and liquorice-like with age. It is delicious with hearty winter dishes of slow-cooked beef, rabbit, lamb, venison, white […]

How Riesling Ages

July 26, 2017 by Maureen

I regularly give 6-9 year old traditional Mosel Rieslings at my wine courses.  Many students are confounded by its petrolly aromas, and undecided about its honeyed flavours, balanced against finely chiselled acidity. Winemason, one of the leading importers of German wines in Ireland,* invited Anne Krebiehl MW to Ireland this summer, to give a very […]

Introducing Brimoncourt Champagne

June 12, 2017 by Maureen

A rainy and relatively quiet June afternoon coincided nicely with an invitation from Boutique Wines to the launch of Brimoncourt Champagne in Ireland.  The venue was Pichet Restaurant,looking good after a revamp about a year ago.  The warm welcome from Johnny and Phil from Boutique Wines, as well as Jeremy from Pichet lifted my spirits […]
