WORDS Martina Murray AH ROSÉ! A TASTE OF THE ATLA
NTIC As the season gets into its stride, actress, author and entrepreneur Amy Huberman has expanded her Ah Wines range to include a laid-back French pink that’s ideal for summer tippling. Boasting solid French winemaking credentials with a refreshingly accessible attitude, the wine is made by family-owned producer Domaines Auriol in a vineyard in Occitanie, famed for its sustainable approach and award-winning wines. The blend of Cinsault and Grenache Gris from Southern France’s Pays d’Oc region delivers notes of wild strawberry, raspberry and white peach, alongside delicate floral and citrus aromas. Crisp, dry and refreshingly bright, it’s a great match for seafood, burrata, sushi, and charcuterie boards, making it an ideal choice for sharing with friends during these unexpectedly warm summer nights. Available through Dunnes Stores and Tesco, RRP €15. ah-wines.com In addition to overhauling the design of its bottle for the first time since its inception in 2014, this summer has also seen Dingle Distillery adding a new flavour to its award winning collection. The Kerry based makers have been busy bottling the spirit of Ireland’s south western coast courtesy of a flavoursome new collaboration with local producers West of Dingle Sea Salt. Built on the distillery’s award-winning botanical recipe, Dingle Gin Orange & Sea Salt pairs vibrant citrus with a delicate saline finish, elevated with hand-selected Spanish oranges, distilled separately to maximise their bright, zesty flavour. Nicely capturing the fresh, coastal character of the Dingle Peninsula, the new expression offers fans of the world-beating gin a taste of the refreshing Wild Atlantic Way without leaving their gaff. dingledistillery.ie MONSIEUR POMPIER’S MUSEUM OF CURIOSITIES “Weird and wonderful!” “The stuff of nightmares!” MUSEUMOFCURIOSITIES.IE DUBLIN’S STRANGEST MUSEUM
