Wine tastings and courses in Belfast Oct to Dec 2014

Wine Education Service NI (that's me) evening wine tastings, five-week courses and one-day workshops scheduled from early October to early December in Belfast city centre are as follows:

Wines of Italy Saturday workshop

October 4 from 10:30 AM - 5:00 PM

Cost: £90 including 2-course lunch

"On our 'Wines of Italy' one-day workshop, we'll take you on a guided tour around several of this varied country's different wine producing regions and taste and talk about a dozen high quality wines. These will include classics from northern Italy, such as Piemonte and Veneto, central Italy such as Tuscany and Umbria, and the deep south e.g. Sicily, Sardinia or Puglia..."

Bordeaux has moved...

You'll now find everything Bordeaux updated and neatly pruned on these two crammed pages - click on the title links to read at your leisure:

Bordeaux 1

Bordeaux 'retrospective': a new page with archive features (2003-2001) on Pomerol (Vieux Château Certan, Le Pin, Gazin), Château Falfas & biodynamics and Bordeaux travel: 'famous Châteaux spotting'...

However, some of the links on the first page are still broken (linking to FrenchMedWine.com which no longer exists), so I'll have to fix them too at some point.

Bordeaux retrospective

As well as updating my hearty Bordeaux page, I've resurrected some more archive features and created a second new Bordeaux page (follow the Pomerol link below):

Pomerol 'invasion of MW students' in two parts: featuring Vieux Château Certan, Le Pin, Gazin (2003).

And also starring: Château Falfas: 'biodynamic in Côtes de Bourg' (2002).

'Bordeaux travel in brief...' (scroll down to the bottom of page) - celebrity château-spotting with Beychevelle, Ferrière, Margaux, Lafon-Rochet, Cos d’Estournel, Lynch-Bages, Lagrange, Rauzan-Ségla, Saint-Émilion; and eating and tasting posh but not dear at Le Bistro du Sommelier... (2001).
