As a wine enthusiast and avid consumer, I would scour local retailers to find that gem recommended by regular columnists in national papers or specialist magazines. I soon came to the realization that often the critic’s choice was not available on the local market. So, it seemed that Galwegians needed a guide not only to what’s good, but what’s actually available to them. To this end is born www.robertfranciswine.ie So if you are interested in wine available in Galway or wine available in Ireland this is where you need to be !

The focus of this site is to provide an independent review of locally available wine for all occasions. Let me trod the cobbles of Galway so that you don’t have to! My website can direct you straight to the perfect wine for that summer BBQ or dinner party so that you can purchase with confidence that you are bringing home the best value wine in your bracket. I am dedicated to sampling a wide range of locally stocked wines (it’s a dirty job, but someone has to do it!) and seeking out that €10 bottle that taste like a €30 bottle - so, you can save time and money, impress your friends and enjoy a fantastic glass!!

We are well catered for wine in Galway by retailers such as Cases, The Vineyard, Thomas Woodberries, and Harvest. There are also treasures to be found amongst smaller retailers slightly off the beaten track such as Probus Wines in Oughterard and Cabot and Co in Castlebar. To keep up to date with all of the fantastic wines on offer, please sign up to my free newsletter to receive my selections along with links to new items on www.robertfranciswine.ie.

This site will also source my blog maintaining wine tasting notes, details on wine regions and different wine varietals. If you have a specific question, or would like me to cover a particular topic please email me at info@robertfranciswine.ie.
