Weekend wine with Blake Creedon

THE public wine tastings featured here last week — and the suggestion that wine fans shouldn’t miss the opportunity — all still rings true.

But that autumn line-up has since been joined by arguably the best annual wine tasting in this country — albeit with a change of venue.

The Wines Of Spain open public tasting, organised each year by the Spanish embassy, has this year moved from its usual home in Dublin and will now take place at the Imperial Hotel, South Mall, Cork, on Thursday from 5.30pm to 7pm.
