Learn about wine

January 27, 2016 by Maureen

If you can imagine the island of Ireland covered in vineyards, this is roughly the same footprint as the world’s vineyard area.  Okay, so tag on an extra County Cork for good measure and you will come close to the real figure of 7.5 million hectares of vines in the world, which bear grapes.   Although […]

Coravin – the ultimate gift!

December 8, 2015 by Maureen

  Wine is a very traditional area.  Wine packaging was stuck in a time warp until screwcaps came along. Many people avoid opening a bottle of wine if they just fancy a glass – especially if it’s an expensive bottle.  I generally recommend using a VacuVin pump, to remove the air from an open bottle.  […]

Visiting Bordeaux

September 19, 2015 by Maureen

One of the best ways to learn about wines to go a visit a wine region.  Bordeaux is a wonderful place to visit, even if only for a weekend, to stroll through its broad boulevards and marvel at the grandeur of merchant life.  Now is a better time than ever to visit Bordeaux, and appreciate […]

Chris Hatcher – an inside track

August 8, 2014 by Maureen

Wolf Blass President’s Selection is for many people, the wine of choice for special occasions. About fifteen years ago, Ireland drank more of this level than any other country in the world!  I was lucky recently to spend an hour with Chris Hatcher, the winemaker behind Wolf Blass for the last 25 years. In 2013 […]

Flying winemakers

December 10, 2013 by Maureen

People over a certain age might remember a TV series called The Flying Doctors.  Set in Australia, doctors were dispatched out to medical dramas in the outback by helicopter. In the wine world, flying winemakers take advantage of seasonal variation between northern and southern hemispheres, by making  two vintages per year, one in northern Europe […]

Gruner Veltliner

April 29, 2013 by Maureen

If you consider that there are somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 varieties of vitis vinifera, the vine species used to make wine, it is hardly surprising that many remain obscure.   Grüner Veltliner has less than 20,000 hectares of vines planted around the world, in contrast to more popular Chardonnay, which has more than 160,000. […]

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. If you like the thrill of the theatre, comedy, the history and romance of wine (including Ireland’s links to the wine industry), tasting wine, then you will love this one-woman show.  The performance is just […]
