Wine with Leslie Williams: Wines to enjoy with a BBQ

This week I’ve been thinking about barbecue, not just the plain grilled over charcoal version we do in Ireland, but the long slow cooked version as practiced in the Southern States of the USA and of course in Holy Smoke in Cork and Mister S on Camden St — Mister S are offering excellent takeout barbecue these days if you are in Dublin.

Back in the late 1990s I drove from New York to New Orleans and then to San Francisco and took in as many barbecue spots as I could — the food was often excellent but none of the barbecue restaurants visited served wine which rather broke my heart.
