New Zealand Wine Tasting

January 3, 2014 by Maureen

The 2013 New Zealand grape harvest yielded high quality grapes from all regions, and winemakers are heralding it as one of the best vintages in history. 22 wineries are showing their wines at the Dublin show, on Thursday 23rd January, at the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel (where I hold my WSET wine courses). Trade tasting: […]

A Wine Goose Chase

January 10, 2013 by Maureen

The highly-praised wine show, A Wine Goose Chase with Susan Boyle is coming to Templeogue, on Thursday 31st January 2013, 8pm.

Letting wines breathe

May 18, 2011 by Maureen

Is there a benefit in letting a wine breathe? This is a frequently asked question at wine tastings. The answer is generally yes for red wines, as oxygen in the air allows aromas to develop. However, the amount of air which is allowed through the neck of a bottle is minimal. In this scenario, there […]

Royal Wedding champagne

April 27, 2011 by Maureen

The royal couple have chosen Pol Roger champagne for their wedding celebrations, accordingly to Decanter magazine.  This champagne is known as the gentleman’s champagne, for its association with Sir Winston Churchill (who was a big fan and in whose honour the house’s top wine cuvee was named), and also for its mature and often broad-shouldered […]

Wine Stories from Down Under

March 4, 2011 by Maureen

Forget about canopy management, malo-lactic fermentation and basket presses, and discover stories behind your favourite wines.  Australian wine is the most popular wine by far in Ireland.  It is larger than the whole of Europe, yet we tend to see it as a country, rather than a continent, and forget that there isn’t one, but a range of wine styles within this.   […]

Probably the best wine job…

February 22, 2011 by Maureen

Working in the wine business has quite an allure to many. Even within the wine business, there is a pecking order.  The best job in the world? Possibly selling and promoting champagne.  Laurent-Perrier is one of the ‘grand marques’ or top champagne houses in the region. I had a quick chat with the very charming […]

Wine in the movies

February 21, 2011 by Maureen

A long car journey combined with a radio feature on the Oscars got me thinking of wine moments in movies. Am I the only wine nerd who squints sideways to read a wine label when it is being poured in a movie?  I hope not.  Think Casablanca and a 1926 Veuve Clicquot champagne.  Apart from these […]

Gifts for wine lovers

December 15, 2010 by Maureen

Trying to decide what to give the wine lover in your life for Christmas?  Well the obvious choice is wine.   A safe shortcut in choosing a wine would be to go to a good wineshop, tell them your budget, together with whatever knowledge you have on their preferences, and they will do the rest (they […]
