Below, the most comprehensive list of Irish wine blogs ever published.
The list of Irish wine blogs has been growing steadily, with a greater number of retailers and oenophiles coming online in the last few months. If I’ve left you out, I do humbly apologise. Please berate me in the comments below with a link to your site.
- Blake Creedon’s Wine Cork Cork’s the place, but there’s nothing corked about Blake’s bibendous blog
- Bubble Brothers Blog run almost singlehandedly by Julian Alubaidy and one of the originators of wine blogging in Ireland

- Sauce Merchant Colly Murray liked some Italian wine so much, he decided to bring it in and share it with the rest of us via his new start-up retrovino.com

- The Grapefruit – the blog behind Thomas Woodberry’s in Galway

- Willie’s Wine Blog – great value wines tasted with good honest opinions on them
- Wine and Dine Club, Cork

- Wow Girls – Clare, Ruth, Evelyn and Julie, four ladies and friends in the wine business, different ages, different styles, different personalities, but with one simple thing in common. A love of wine.
This all begs the question, is there room for a best booze blog category in the Irish Blog Awards, 2011?
“Best Booze Blog” is a fine idea, Lar. It is a scandal and outrage that we have to compete against the food guys.
Don’t mind the food guys, it’s the beer blogs that i worry about!

Thanks Will, can’t believe I forgot Elke and Blake and Burgundy Direct was a new one to me.
You’ve prompted me to revisit our blog’s list of ‘Irish wine blog’ links for the first time in a while; but, taking in to account Will’s additions, I’m delighted to discover I haven’t too much work to do to get it up to date should time bulge sufficiently to make this possible.
That said, the amount of work to do to keep up with the pack is something I’d prefer not to think about. It’s much easier to enjoy reading.
Thanks Lar. Humbled to be listed alongside so many great wine blogs ;)
“Bringing the thunder…” HOO-YA! Love that, cheers Lar!
Michael Kay-Ay-Nuh ;)
Doesn’t really work as well as Vay-Ner-Chuk, does it?
I want more syllables.
I think you could be better off sticking to one you’ve got the most stick for, presumably, over the years.
“My name is Michael Kane” and then finish with “..and not a lot of people know that”.
You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off…
Don’t you throw that bloody spear at me…
Yeah, had a few! :)
Gotta be original though, we’ll work out our signature as we go along (like everything else we do!)
