Wine with Leslie: Six organic wines including a white I can't get enough of

The autumnal nip in the air also calls for a bright juicy Rosso

Wine with Leslie: One of thise week's picks has lime essence and ripe kiwi aromas, juicy, fruity and zingy with a touch of spritz and a tangy lemony finish.

With mostly distressing stories in our newspapers these days I have been wearing the badge I was given at the last Polish Wine Fest which says “Make Wine Not War”. The Polish wine festival returns next year but there are a series of pop-up wine tastings on Fridays in the coming weeks in the Fumbally Stables on Clanbrassil Street (Polishwinefest.com).

The world’s independent wine community is relatively small and peace loving with a huge focus on togetherness and co- operation. I would love to feature some of the fascinating Ukrainian wines I tried last year but none have made it here yet and winemakers there have other things on their minds beyond the export market these days.
