Foradori Tasting at Ballymaloe
Superb organic wines from native Italian grapes.
Holiday weekend or not, you can always bank on Ballymaloe for an excellent tasting.

We don’t make wine like they make in Bordeaux.” Not that he was doing down the wines of Bordeaux or indeed those of any other region. He was simply saying that each area, each terroir, has a wine story of its own to tell.
