We had a great wine morning with John McDonnell of Wine Australia fame www.wineaustralia.com (also please see the feature article on John and Wine Australia in The Sunday Business Post, 28 February 2010 www.thepost.ie/agenda ) and also Pascal Rossignol of Le Caveau, Kilkenny www.lecaveau.ie (Pascal is originally from near Gevry-Chambertin, Burgundy). The students were treated to a masterclass in Wine Australia from John and a masterclass from Pascal, featuring the wines of Burgundy, Rhone Valley and the South-West of France, with some fascinating comparative tastings of Australian and French wines. Our very special thanks, once again, to John and Pascal for their fantastic on-going wine presentations to the students of the Ballymaloe Cookery School 12-week certificate course.
