Restaurant review: The Woodford, Cork

I have been squirreling away this juicy nugget for some time and, as it relates to Cork, its delivery may well be perceived as yet another example of especially smug Leeside parochial pride: between 1436 and 1644, save just four years, every mayor of Cork was engaged in the wine trade, a statistic unsurpassed by any other seaport in the world.
To be fair, Cork’s pre-eminence is part of the larger story of Ireland’s historical infatuation with wine.
