Wine: The importance of buying local

Once again this week I want to encourage you to shop local and to emphasise this I’m giving over the column to a profile of one of Cork’s relatively unsung wine heroes: JJ O’Driscolls Superstore in Ballinlough.

Wine: The importance of buying local

O’Driscolls first opened its doors in 1948 so 2017 marks its 69th anniversary in business. The store is run by the second generation — Brendan and Neil O’Driscoll.

Neil’s daughter Kiara, who is a qualified chef, is in charge of the ever expanding hot food traiteur section, all prepared in the shop’s kitchen (she creates at least one new dish a month, apparently).
