California Wines – Less is More
The Golden State at Ballymaloe

Grainstore at Ballymaloe

California Wines will be visiting East Cork on Wednesday, 9th March for a

tasting of California Wines. Liam Campbell, wine editor of The Irish

Independent, will conduct the seminar. Ballymaloe House will host the

tasting in The Grainstore at Ballymaloe.

The theme of the evening will be: California Wines - Less is More -

reflecting the new evolving style of more subtle flavours and balancing

alcohol. Less is More will focus in particular on Sonoma and Carneros,

because, as the coolest subzones, they are excellent examples of elegant

style, with their Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs - among the most foodfriendly

and versatile of grape varietals.

The California Wines Tasting takes place in The Grainstore at Ballymaloe

House from 7 – 8.30pm on the evening of Wednesday 9th March. Liam

will guide his guests through eight elegant wines and explain why they

work well with suggested food pairings.

Tickets for the event are €10, including tastings and canapes, and available directly from Ballymaloe

House. Please book early to avoid disappointment. Please contact
