D. Byrne & Co.
A Tasting of Wines for Christmas 2011
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our annual Christmas tasting. The tasting room at The Old Brewery was packed every day with faces new and familiar alike, we hope you enjoyed the experience as much as we did. The two youngest members of the team, Kate and Jack Byrne, together with Hetty and Lucy have never run up and down the stairs so fast and furiously filling plates with delicious Manchego cheese, olives, bread and chorizo in their lives. Below is the selection of 35 wines and spirits which were available to try on the night.
