Wine with Leslie Williams: Sticking with Ireland’s favourite Iberian grape, Albariño

So as the lockdown continues I have been re-reading some classic wine books and particularly enjoyed revisiting Hugh Johnson’s The Story of Wine which tells of mankind’s relationship with the grape since ancient times — you can pick up a secondhand copy for under a tenner on Amazon.

If you too have been boning up on your wine knowledge during these lockdown times can I recommend you test yourself by visiting the website www.thegreedycouple.com where you will find some excellent challenging quizzes on wine and also food. I curated a wine quiz for them which went live last weekend — it won’t of course be challenging for anyone who reads this column regularly and has a good memory.
