Tuesday, August 31st, 2010upcoming sicilian wine tasting in Fenns Quay
Friday, July 23rd, 2010On Monday 26th July at @19:30 Fenns Quay are hosting a Sicilian dinner and wine tasting.
“We have a four course dinner paired with six different wines. The price is €50 which includes the food and wine (Plenty of it!!). There will be a draw at the end of the night when one lucky attendee will win a 6 bottle mixed case of wine.”
sounds like it’ll be a great night – I’ll be there.
clippers arrive in Cork City
Wednesday, July 7th, 2010I went out on my friends yacht today to join the clippers on their journey up river from outside Cork Harbour.
We met the clippers a couple of miles off Roches Point and followed them all the way upriver.
The first landmark – Roches Point lighthouse. Clippers Cork and Jamaica passing Roches point:
Some milling around outside Sipke Island followed as the clippers were too early to head upriver.
Passing Blackrock Castle:
Passing Pairc Ui Chaoimh (not visible)

The festival on the quays in Cork awaiting the clippers:
Finally the crew got to relax, enjoy the parade and enjoy the Cork hospitality!

they’re still fixing the flood damage in cork city – cafe depeche
Tuesday, May 4th, 2010they’re still repairing flood damage in a lot of places around Cork City. With insurance claims and building work taking time, some places are waiting to have work done, and some just plain haven’t reopened. Cafe Depeche, on Washington St is one of these. There’s some work happening there lately though, so I’m hopeful they’ll open again soon.

twebt 4 live in the Sextant
Tuesday, April 20th, 2010We have something special planned for this twebt – we’re going to have a live twebt meetup in the Sextant on Albert Quay in Cork!
I’ll bring a projector to show the twebt stream live, and we should have some live videos and chat too. It’s open to everyone, come along to the Sextant bar, Sunday 25th from 8:00 pm for a 21:00 start.
Bring your mystery bottle, there’s a small corkage charge of €5 and don’t worry, I’ll bring a bottle opener 
If you’ve not already bought your bottle – head along to O’Briens and buy it there. You can also buy it in any of their shops right up to the weekend.
If you’re ordering online today would be best, but you’ll probably get away with it if you order early tomorrow.
We hope to see you online or in the Sextant!
What’s twebt? It’s a blind wine tasting on twitter. Read all about it here.
murphys local advertising campaign
Monday, February 8th, 2010I’m a big fan of this sort of localised advertising.
Murphys Ad - The Lough
Murphys Ad - The Shaky Bridge
For non-Corkonians, the Lough and the Shaky bridge are local landmarks. They wouldn’t mean much outside Cork, but that’s the fun of the campaign.
