Wine of the Week
Irish Wine for Paddy's Day - 14th March 08
What will you be drinking this Paddy’s day? Green lager perhaps? Hopefully not. Or maybe a good auld pint of plain is your only man. Many people will do just that  but what are the wine options for the patriotic drinker? Martin discusses them with Sean Moncreiff on the Afternoon Show on News Talk 106FM on Friday 14th February 2008 at about 3.20pm. more

Go Booze Cruising To Cherbourg With Martin on May 31st 2008

Back by popular demand. I'm leading another booze cruise to France with Irish Ferries.

Irish Ferries new winter/spring schedule limits the opportunities to get to Cherbourg for day out visiting the supermarkets and wine merchants. Sadly most departures arrive at 5.30pm and depart at 9.00pm. However there is a slot just before peak season, but  going to Roscoff rather than Cherourg.

We'll depart at 17.30 on Friday May 30th arriving the next day at 10.30 and departing at 18.30 to return to Rosslare on the Sunday at 10.00.

On the Friday evening of each trip I’ll host a tasting of wines that will be available ashore and discuss what  kinds of wines and prices you can expect to see. Then on Saturday while we are in port I’ll lead an excursion to some of the wine shops and be on hand to give advice as you ‘fill yer boots’ with bargains. 

Why not join us? Prices are €124 per person and €59 for a car. Expect to make savings of several times that. Book now at Irish Ferries   

Read here to find out about last year's trip to Cherbourg (and Calais) and the savings to be made at the Channel ports.

Audio Link - The trip on March 23rd 07 went well and great fun was had by all.  Henry Mckean did a feature for News Talk 106 - 108 FM and here is a link to the Irish ferries site which has a recording of it.
