Weekend wine with Blake Creedon

With Mother’s Day and St Patrick’s Day falling so close together, many of us will be inspired to tuck into a family feast with an Irish flavour this weekend.

Among them, big roasts made with outstanding Irish ingredients, each accompanied by a good wine. Roast beef with a big cabernet and shiraz; lamb with fragrant reds such as pinot noir or tempranillo.

But of course some of our keynote dishes cast pork, bacon and ham in the starring role.
