Wines and Olive Oil of Tuscany,
Wednesday 9th November at Ballymaloe
We had an amazing day with the launch and masterclasses of the new season’s Tuscan Olive Oil.
I hope some of these photographs can convey the excitment and sense of occasion in Ballymaloe throughout the day – Billy Lyons ‘Restaurants and Food in Cork’Â also has written a very nice article about the launch here.
And also see ‘The Vine Inspiration’ wine blog nice article here on the Winemakers Dinner that evening at Ballymaloe House
