Fine Wine Tastings at the Irish Wine Board

Maybe it’s the wine equivalent of a lap dance, taste some of the best wines out there, but only enough to make you horny for more but without the opportunity to follow through. However, I went to one of these back in November (Burgundy Reds) and was blown away.

Here’s the blurb…

The Wine Board is delighted to offer an opportunity to taste many of the famous wines from the wine world, the wines that often are the exclusive property of the very rich. All wines will be presented by Nigel Donnan, who has been lecturing for The Wine Board for the past ten years.

Here’s the details…
