Wine by Leslie Williams

THE last week of November was Rhone Wine Week organised by the ever busy Simon and Emma Tyrrell of Tyrrell and Co. who import a range of wines from the region, including one that Simon himself makes called Les Deux Cols which featured here a few weeks ago.

Among the events were wine tastings in places like l’Atitude 51, Donnybrook Fair and Ely Wine Bar, as well as tasting dinners in the Tannery and Donnellys of Barna

The Wild Goose Grill in Ranelagh created a menu to match the wines of Domaine de la Janasse, which had many highlights, including Dublin Bay Prawns with Creamed Leeks paired with Janasse’ Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc and goose breast with the spicy cherry fruit-driven red version.
