This was a recipe we featured last year on our old website. It was really well received and I tried it myself on the BBQ one Friday evening with fresh Monkfish caught that day in Howth, Co Dublin. I wanted it to get onto the new site and be there for those that look at the recipes we post here. Ian comes up with these recipes entirely from scratch and this one is one that works a treat. Read a little more about Ian and his background here.

There is no doubt getting a gift of wine is a lovely surprise in itself, but how it arrives, feels and most importantly looks when it arrives, is such an important factor. We are delighted to say that all 6 bottle gifts and individual cases you order will now be packed in flat 6 bottle presentation cases. Whether you hand present it yourself or whether we ship it around Ireland for you, rest assured it will arrive looking great in the following WineOnline custom packaging.

We have seen an increase in repeat orders each month for the Case of the Month. We are committed to filling this case with 12 bottles of exciting...

Twice marinated BBQ leg of lamb with baked potatoes & salad

 

This recipe was one Ian - our foodie created last year. In the switchover to our new site, it got lost in the mix and we've had some requests for it to be reposted. It is ideally a BBQ dish and it may still be too early for that but you can call that. You could always do this in the oven as well. Now that Lamb is in season again that's the most important part. Ian's particularly good with his pastes and marinades and...

The noble Syrah grape originated in the Rhone area of France and is used to make dry, full bodied reds. The trademark flavour of French Syrah is black pepper. Although there is much confusion and many misconceptions, Shiraz is in fact the same grape as Syrah. They are both made from the same small dark skinned grape, but based on the climate and soil (terroir) in which it is grown, you can expect very different characteristics in style. Syrah associated with the old world of France and Shiraz with new world particularly Australia.

"If black pepper is the French trademark, dark chocolate...

When you're celebrating, it's all about the company your sharing, coupled with a glass of something lovely in your hand and some small nibbles to keep everyone ticking over. Chicken wings are one of those dishes that are definitely not first date nibbles but everyone wishes they were because when done right they can be so delicious and allow for great conversation to flow , but when done wrong there soggy and flabby and you have to work harder to get a good bite from them . The key thing here is the oven temperature, it gives...
