“We believe in family”, says Louis Herterich, Master Butcher at Herterich Artisan Butchers.

It’s all Brews and Games: The Square Ball, Hogan Place – Bar Review

Bars & Venues, Drinks / Gaby Guedez

With a very traditional front lounge, a back room covered in astro-turf and a wood fire oven in the same building, The Square Ball is quite a difficult one to classify. A member of the Bodytonic alliance along with some notable other Dublin pubs such as the Bernard Shaw (the birthplace of Dublin hipsterism) and

There’s no Place Like Rhône: Discover the Wines of the Rhône Valley

Drinks, Wine / Gaby Guedez

The vast Rhône Valley is an expanse of verdant beauty spanning the length of the Rhône river in southeastern France — sweeping from Lyon, France’s second city, to just north of provençal Orange; still a testament to the glory of the Roman Empire. Way back when, the Romans used the Rhône Valley as their highway

Sicilian White Wines: Six Bottles you Should be Drinking Now

Drinks, Wine / Gaby Guedez

Italy’s white wines can best be understood as typically dry, mouth-wateringly crisp and with a delicate fruity or almond nutty character. Traditionally subservient to cuisine, their role is to refresh the palate and flatter the food, rarely to dominate. The island of Sicilia (Sicily) is a vast and much under-rated wine region. Producing one-sixth of

Coffee & Cafes, Drinks, Restaurant Reviews / Gaby Guedez

Neatly tucked away just off Camden Street, The Fat Fox is a petite cafe that recently arrived on the scene in Dublin. Having stumbled upon their Instagram feed a few weeks ago, I decided to make my move and visit this new spot. The cafe is only open on weekdays from 7am to 4pm, so

To change the flavours or add to their already increasingly delicious products, many cider makers have begun experimenting with adding fruits or spices to their mixes.

Elegance and Refinement: Discover the Fourth Wave of South American Wines

Drinks, Wine / Gaby Guedez

South American wines have come a long way. Prolific and well established Chile and Argentina are leading, but up and coming neighbours are finding their own voices with the improved quality that technology and sovoir-faire bring. Last year Peru took home Gold at the Mundus Vini Award in Germany while Uruguay earned Silver at the prestigious Decanter World Wine Awards. This

The Future Pours the Past: How Torres Mas La Plana Passes the Taste of Time

Drinks, Wine / Gaby Guedez

There was something poetic about having the new generation of the Torres family hosting a vertical tasting of Torres Mas La Plana, a wine hailed as the legacy of Mireia and Miguel’s father, Miguel A. Torres, and which was considered quite a risky venture at the time of its creation in 1970. In fairness, a Cabernet

I’m bragging now, but this Beef and Stout Pies recipe was the winner in a live TV cook-off on the NBC Today Show. The potato pastry was what helped clinch the prize!

Fashionably Late Harvest: Grapes Well Worth the Wait

Drinks, Wine / Gaby Guedez

To make Late Harvest wines, the grapes need to follow the -paraphrased- advice from legendary rockstar Axl Rose and just take some time alone on their own, but instead of chilling in the cold November rain, they will benefit from a less damp weather which allows them to dry on the vine for several weeks after the fruits for

Uncommon Brews: The Beer Market, High Street – Bar Review

Bars & Venues, Drinks / Gaby Guedez

Perched on High Street, between Dublinia and St Audoen’s, stands a pub with one of the most unique selections of craft beer in Ireland. As you approach from Christ Church, it is merely heralded with a small sign depicting a haloed tulip beer glass. It is only when you stand before it, that the enormous

Ska Brewing: Decadent Imperial IPA – Craft Beer Review

Craft Beer, Drinks / Gaby Guedez

Having first discovered this beer when a wax-clad bottle drew my eye to the top shelf back in early 2015, Decadent Imperial IPA by Ska Brewing quickly cemented itself thereafter as one of all time favourites. Unfortunately this dapper gent has remained rather elusive since, only for the occasional cameo appearance in the Thomas House

Win at Nightlife: The 15 Coolest Bars in Dublin Have a Table for You

Bars & Venues, Cocktails, Drinks / Gaby Guedez

What makes a bar cool? This question might not bring sleepless nights to elite scientists, unless they’re actually having a cocktail in such a place. It’s not just a well thought out drinks menu or music that the regulars will enjoy, and it’s definitely not the consequence of having plenty of ice (although running out of it would be

All your senses agree: this looks, sounds, smells, tastes and feels like Barcelona, even though your GPS says you’re in

An Odyssey of Kir-Yianni Wines from Greece

Drinks, Wine / Gaby Guedez

I think I’m lucky to have come into the wine game when I did. I’m now 33 and started in the wine trade eight years ago, meaning that I managed to avoid a great number of wine-related hang-ups and prejudices that most wine drinkers the generation above me seem to carry around with them. I

Curried Mussel Soup Recipe by Catherine Fulvio

Family Recipes, Fish & Seafood, Recipes, Star Chef Recipes / Gaby Guedez

This is an elegant dinner-party-style soup – it’s quite filling, though, so it’s good to opt for a lighter main course to follow. We have an abundance of wonderful mussels here in Ireland, so we should use them more in home cooking. They take flavour very well and are particularly tasty with curry spices. For
