To Dream The Impossible Dream...

You have to give credit to Irish viticulturists for their perseverance and dedication.

From an article in The Guardian, 'Ripe for the picking',  that we will discuss today,  we have learnt that after many years of trial and error, winemakers in Ireland now  produce a very acceptable sparkling rosé and  red wine.

It has not been easy to to find the grape that will  adapt to the terrain and climate. Also,  a slight increase in temperature is helping.

However, vine growing in  Ireland is still a major struggle.

Getting the vines to flower in the first place is a problem itself.


Then watch the weather  until the harvest in the hope that the cold and  the frost do not return.

It is a passionate pursuit for these pioneers!

Adh mór ar Lá Fhéile Pádraig!

Good luck! Happy St Patrick's Day!
