Hi Bacchus,

As you would expect me to say today: You don't need the luck of the Irish to find a great bottle of wine ...

Think of me as your over-enthusiastic Sommelier Leprechaun who keeps popping up in the liquor store between wine aisles and jumping out from behind stacks of display bottles to help ;)

There are lots of wines to pair with Irish Stew, corned beef and cabbage, or in my case, my grandmother's biscuits ... she was a Brophy:

BC Liquor Stores (store stock), AlbertaLCBO (stock), SAQ (stock), NBNSCanada

You'll find my best bargain wines here: Red  White  Rosé  Sparkling  Dessert

Cheers,

Drinkin' the Green: St. Patrick's Day Wines?   

Is there any wine that pairs with corned beef and cabbage?

This in turn begs the question: Can we skip the corned beef and cabbage and just have wine?

No matter.
