Midlands Immersion

Bloomfield House Hotel in Mullingar is the venue for a wine-drenched weekend, March 24th-26th

Bloomfield House Hotel in Mullingar is the venue for a wine-drenched weekend, March 24th-26th. Wine 2000 encompasses a series of short workshops hosted by guest speakers, a wine fair supported by many leading importers and a gala dinner, as well as two wine receptions and various competitions. I look forward to dropping in myself. "Our aim is to put wine on the map in the Midlands," says organiser Hugh Murray. You can book in for the whole weekend for £199, or instead buy a day pass or gala banquet tickets - but advance booking is essential. Contact John Shortt at the hotel, 044-40894, 044-43767, email bloomfieldhouse@eircom.net, or Hugh Murray, 086-2029186.
