A Taste of West Cork 2017
We're delighted to have been asked to join in with this year's Taste of West Cork festival, a celebration and exhibition of all things delicious from the Atlantic side of the county.
Billy Forrester of Bubble Brothers travelled down to the beautiful Liss Ard estate in Skibbereen to introduce some of our wines at an event conjured up especially for the Taste of West Cork: A Taste of Liss Ard.
The beautiful, tranquil country house made a very elegant, relaxed setting for the serious contemplation of head chef Danny Barter's tasting menu and the wines that we chose as complements to each lavish dish.
The late substitution of sea bass for the originally planned mackerel as a fish course was no upset on the wine front: it's almost as though destiny intervened to come up with an even more carefully tailored food match for Cyril Marès's succulent Tradition Blanc.
By all accounts, the event was a great success. Congratulations to the Liss Ard team for their energy, industry and imagination in showing what they can do, and thanks to them for inviting us to participate, with the wines you see listed below.
