THE WINE STORE
Just browsing through the March newsletter from the Wine Store. It is an issue of celebration: a big thumbs up for the fact that a high quality French travel mag has confirmed that Irish restaurant chefs are as good as any in the world and a heads up for the festive days ahead including St Patrick’s Day.
One thing that did strike me is that, by subscribing to the newsletter, there is 10% off, and there is no minimum order. Delivery for orders over €60.00 is free while under that and you pay a very reasonable €5.00. They do stress however: “As always this offer is not available through the site, to avail please email or call us using the contact details at the end of the newsletter.” To subscribe click here
But back to the wine! The newsletter has some excellent suggestions for matching with Irish food:
Spring Lamb – a Tempranillo
Bacon and Cabbage - a Pinot Noir
Mackerel – Bergarac Sec
Irish Cheeses – Coteaux du Layon
The newsletter also contains details of forthcoming wine events, including one in the Tannery in Dungarvan on April 29th (though that clashes with a wedding I have to go to!)
