Back to Rice's International for our Sunday tasting. These long grey days are making me crave some sunshine so lets explore some fantastic Aussie wines.
Book at the bar
We love a wine with a backstory and so this time we're looking at wine and war, wine that has caused by conflict and those shaped by it.
The Jacobites, the champagne riots,General Franco are just some of the protagonists guiding this tasting
This month we're off to South America, crisp whites and rich reds along with charcuterie from The Big Cheese BelfaST
I am David Mason (Maso), and I work with a selection of partners and helpers. With over 30 years of experience in the hospitality world, I decided to focus on wine when the small fine dining restaurant I managed closed. Currently, I collaborate with Robert Neill Wines, where we host Northern Ireland wine events and private tastings, including Maso's Wine Nights.
Our aim is to demystify Northern Ireland wine and make it accessible to people who may find the idea of a wine masterclass or private tastings daunting. The focus is on providing a fun evening, exploring the story and personality behind the wines featured in our wine events.
Wines are supplied and available from Robert Neill Wines in Helens Bay & Groomsport, offering a selection of Northern Ireland wine perfect for private tastings and wine events. Charcuterie is supplied and available from The Big Cheese Belfast.

Digital Circles invited me along to their podcast to discuss our unique role in the hospitality industry, including our focus on Northern Ireland wine, our private tastings, and how we organize engaging wine events that set us apart from others.
