Supervalu's Current Wine Offers Focus on Organic and Vegan, also on Alcohol Free


Supervalu's first wine offer of the year focuses on a selection of
 Vegan wines plus a range of Low Alcohol wines for January. It is up and running and due to end on January 20th after which another tempting offer will kick in. Just remember that, just like O'Briens below, Loyalty points will not be earned on the purchase of alcohol products.


The WINE OF THE MONTH is GIGONDAS REMY FERBRAS 75cl at only €12, was €19.66. This excellent wine from the Lower Rhone grows on a rocky argillaceous limestone terroir, to allow the best expression of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. The classic vinification preserves the authenticity and elegance of this wine. To be served with roast lamb, game and casseroles, also perfect with mature cheese.


Rioja, with two from Finca Labarca and one by plus the La Maldita Garnacha, is well worth a try. I have my eye on the Abellio Albarino (now at €10.00 instead of 13.76). Made entirely from hand-harvested Albarino grapes, this Spanish wine, from the Rias Baixas area, has a mid-gold colour. Quite rich aromas of white fruit, apple and pear, and also peach. There is a striking refreshing minerality on the palate where the same fruit flavours shine through fresh and crisp.


The Albarino grape is a distinctive Northern Spanish variety. Its refreshing characteristics make it very versatile with fish and particularly with seafood. Often recommended for Asian also.


On the dry for January? Then help is at hand from two well-known producers. Torres feature with Naturo Muscat and Syrah while Freixenet have a Cava on offer, all non alcoholic.

Fidelity beer festival to return in 2021

Founded by Whiplash and The Big Romance, Fidelity Beer Festival is set to return to Dublin’s
Mansion House on July 16th and 17th 2021, following a break this year.

Building on the success of the first event, Fidelity will once again bring world-class breweries
to the city, many for the first time, for two evening tasting sessions over two days. Unlike
many other beer festivals, Fidelity’s concept is simple – your ticket includes all your beer
samples. No tokens or cash required! Once you collect your specially designed tasting glass
at the door, you’re free to start sampling some of the best beers from a line-up of both
international and local breweries. Whiplash will be creating some limited-edition beers for
the event too.

The festival is designed to allow guests sample at their leisure and take the time to meet all
the fantastic brewers while they serve their incredible beer. As with the previous event,
many of the beers available for sampling will be pouring in Ireland for the very first time,
and each session will have a completely different roster of beers. There will also be a
selection of Dublin’s finest DJs and more to add to the entertainment. The full line-up of
breweries will be announced in 2021.

Tickets cost €62.50 + fees and will be available on Thursday 10th December at 9am from
