Next month, Brigid O’Hora’s down to earth wine guide—The Home Sommelier—hits shelves, and we’re getting the lowdown on all things vino.
Having spent over twenty years working in the wine industry, Brigid O’Hora’s work as a sommelier has taken her across the world, to locations in Paris, Sydney, Boston and Dublin. Perhaps more commonly known by her Instagram handle——Brigid has spent the last few years building up quite the online following through sharing her fuss-free, expert tips on tastings and pairings.
Now she’s put pen to paper and has created an essential guide to making good wine choices without breaking the bank. Filled with down-to-earth, entertaining knowledge and advice to help you choose the perfect wine to fit every occasion,We sat down with Brigid to chat about her beginnings in the industry, what you can expect from the title and to garner some expert insights on how we should be tasting our wines when out to dinner in a nice restaurant.
This wine guide is all about arming the reader with helpful tips and guidance on how to navigate the copious array of wines on our shelves today. Finally, I hope people will enjoy the read of the book and feel a sense of accomplishment when finished.I have found many other wine guides, or indeed wine websites that offer food and wine pairings, they’re often directed at foods that might be for special occasions. I wanted to use food pairings that we eat on a daily basis.
Supermarkets have some great wines, but it is difficult to find these amongst the rows and rows of shelves of poor wines. It can be a bit of a lucky dip sometimes. So I hope that this wine guide can help solve these often fruitless escapades of choosing better wines. With regard to celebrity-endorsed wines, I have tasted quite a number of them.
