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.

The Blueberries (Empty Awards for 2011)

Here at team empty we have decided that we could kick off the new year by having ourselves a little bout of awards just to mention some of the best wines, people, producers, regions and wine businesses that we've come across over the 2011. Our format is very simple, there is a first, second and third place, see simple. That in mind, here are our Blueberry awards for 2011.
