About

Freelance Journalist specialising in Food, Wine and CollectiblesCurrently I write the weekly Wine column in the Irish Examiner newspaper (national daily) plus a Beer/Cider/Spirits column. I feature on Newstalk's Moncrieff programme once a month on the Movies&Booze slot. I also write the Irish Examiner restaurant reviews (every second week). I occasionally write about wristwatches and collecting in general. Past work includes a cookery column and cookery features for the Evening Herald and also a Consumer column. I am a contributing editor to the McKenna Food Guides (formerly the Bridgestone Guides) published by John and Sally Mckenna. I have also been teaching wine courses for over 20 years and frequently conduct wine tastings and occasionally cook food to match each wine.I am a member of the Irish Food Writers Guild (and former Treasurer), and I have written in many publications including trade press, national newspapers and magazines. I have written travel pieces and features on everything from potatoes to parties to Parisian bread.
