UPCOMING EVENTS
Country Wine Workshop. 3 April, The Hollies Centre for Sustainability
I'll be giving the first wine workshop of the year at the lovely Hollies Centre in Enniskeane, West Cork. At this workshop we will learn how to make a fruit wine using frozen fruits, flower wine, mead and sparkly beer style wines. We will cover everything from recipes, essential equipment, hydrometer use, techniques, skills and sterilisation. I do not use sulphites in the making of my wines; at this workshop I will share how to make good, drinkable country wines without sulphites.
