Wish List: Raise a glass to wine tasting and sort your storage
Did someone say cocktails? Waterford candle company Milis has launched a cute set of travel candles featuring fragrances from the founder’s favourite cocktails. The Cocktail Collection is a trio of candles in packaging designed by renowned Irish illustrator Sally Caulwell. Raise a glass to Bellini, Spritz and Sunrise, €45 and available online at Mymillis.

This weekend, an anonymous art curator known only as Art Riddler is hosting an art exhibition in Studio 10 Dublin — with one artist receiving €10,000 at the end of the exhibit and another five automatically qualifying for the next exhibit in 2024. He's like Robin Hood for artists — without stealing from anyone and he is giving from his own pocket. It gets the thumbs-up from us.
We'd like to raise a glass to this experience Sheen Falls Lodge is presenting — an exclusive evening with Trinity Hill Wines. Grab some pals and embark on a tantalising journey with a special New Zealand wine-tasting experience with Trinity Hill Wines in the surroundings of five-star Sheen Falls Lodge.

During the four-course dinner, the wines will be expertly discussed and presented by chief winemaker Warren Gibson, providing guests with insights into the artistry behind each bottle. Spaces are limited, visit sheenfallslodge.ie or phone 064-664 1600.
