Wine with Leslie: all about Spain (and wine) for Spanish Wine Week

Pic. Maura Hickey.

We are all about Spain this week as Spanish Wine Week runs from October 12-19 with wine events, tastings, promos and competitions in towns all over the country. For more detailed info simply search online for ‘Spanish Wine Week 2020’ or look up ‘Ireland 2020’ on foodswinesfromspain.com

Given restrictions, there are lots of online events but there are some tutored tastings and dinners. As you would expect, the country’s tapas restaurants such as Cava Bodega in Galway and Solas in Dingle will have special dinners. I will be introducing wines at three events in person: The Mustard Seed near Adare; Solas Tapas in Dingle; and Lizzy’s Kitchen in Listowel. There may be tickets left but I advise moving quickly — Solas has even laid on a separate vegetarian menu as well as a regular one and has two sittings, as does Lizzy's.
