Wine with Leslie: Polish wine fest returns to Dublin and six wines with an Irish connection

Just as ‘Irish wine’ sounds unlikely, so I expect does ‘Polish wine’, but in fact Poland has recently developed a small but enthusiastic wine scene

The world is crying out for affordable pinot noir so if they can nail this there will be no stopping Polish winemakers.

It has become a tradition around St Patrick’s Day for me to write about wines with an Irish connection.

The making of wines in Ireland from grapes actually grown here is still in its nascent stages with David Llewellyn’s efforts probably foremost amongst the current Irish vignerons, but with the radical changes to the global climate that may well evolve further.
