Bottle Age


Things are changing here at empty. We've both left for the UK and despite our émigré sense of entitlement, we're hardly the Irish wine blog we use to be. We know! With all our, at times ham handed, wading in on matters for the Irish wine trade we had you fooled too. Well, no longer, it seems the world of wine has really opened it's doors to us, dragged us away and right now we'd be foolish to say no to it all. This is just a change that time passing demands I suppose.

Secrets De Chai, Saumur Blanc, 2010


Chenin Blanc, one of the wine worlds real under dogs. Disregarded by many with out a second thought. Written off without a chance, a bit like the blues was. Why the comparison? Well, I'm listening to the blues right now. And having just knocked in my final year project, a report on working memory and wine, I have stumbled on the multiple effects of music on wine perceptions and if I wanted to pair this wine with music, it'd B.B. King.
