Wine with Leslie Williams

Time to confess. I’m a European nationalist (if such a thing is possible), if I could afford it I would buy Paul Smith over Ralph Lauren, Citroen over Chrysler, Bordeaux over Napa Valley, Cornas over Barossa.

Of course as soon as I say this I remember the first time I tasted Leeuwin Estate Art Series cabernet or Ridge Monte Bello from Napa. Speaking of Ridge, Lough Erne Estate is hosting a Ridge wine pairing dinner on March 14, in its Catalina Restaurant which will include some older vintages — ring now as there may be tickets left.
