There are only a few vineyards in Ireland. They are small. Will this change in the near future? Most likely. I visited all three vineyards this year with a view to preserving their stories. They are our pioneers. This podcast with Arnaud can be listened to HERE at my Libsyn hosting site but also on multiple platforms such as Spotify as Kevin Ecock’s Wine Pod. Enjoy La Kav Wines is the brainchild of Arnaud Clopin. It sells a selection of well sourced wines from France at www.lakavwines.ie. Arnaud’s wife is a Kavanagh and he is French – hence La Kav. All straight forward so far! La Kav Wines also has a vineyard on the East coast of Ireland near Gorey in Co. Wexford. Visit the La Kav website and fly over it in a drone. It is spectacular! When I visited Arnaud at his vineyard the weather wasn’t as good as it was for the drone. It was winter. Have a look at what 5,000 vines in Ireland on a couple of hectares looks like. Fabulous. Afterwards we visited the La Kav winery in Gorey town, tasted the wine (white, fresh lemon and thyme, 11.5% excellent) and recorded this podcast. Enjoy the story.

It is unique and quite brilliant.
