The Menu: One of the rarest Irish whiskeys in the world is up for auction with a €40k reserve
Midleton Silent Distillery Chapter Two
Unlike many of his acquaintance, The Menu is very fond of autumn, slowing down with the earth as it shuts down for winter, drawing a close on yet another growing season until next Spring. As the nights close in, he relishes great comforting nocturnal feasts of fine food and wine — and the upcoming wine dinner (Nov 17) at Adare Manor’s wine cellar promises to be such an occasion. It will pair one of the great Bordeaux wines, Chateau Palmer, of Margaux, with a specially created menu by chef Mike Tweedie of Adare Manor’s Michelin-starred Oak Room, where guests will enjoy eight different wines from Château Palmer with a six-course dinner. And The Menu’s sneak preview of dishes for the night has him rather excited. With just 10 seats available, this is quite possibly a very special Christmas present to be enjoyed in advance of the big day itself.
