Wine Geese Book To Be Launched

Was in Kinsale, Co. Cork yesterday and popped into the wine museum at Castle Desmond. I hadn't been there since the day it opened in 1997. There's not a huge amount to see but the castle itself has an interesting history so worth a visit if you are down that way. While there I found out that Ted Murphy and Onstream are about to publish his book about the Irish Wine Geese. At last, it's been in the pipe line for about three years. Big day is June 16th (or 19th - I can't recall) 2005. It's called A Kingdom of Wine - a Celebration of Ireland's Wine Geese, cost €60 (ouch - but no doubt it's a big colour coffee table job and worth every penny - the perfect present for the wine lover etc.) Further details here. If I get hold of a copy I'll post a review here.
