The Wine Buff

The Wine Buff launched a new store in Ireland on Friday the 30^th of September, when Ivor Geraghty opened his new Wine Buff shop at 51 Cullenswood Road on the Triangle in the centre of Ranelagh village, Dublin 6. 

Ivor is a true local having been born and reared in the area and now lives only a five minute stroll from the shop.

Ivor has strong business backgrounds, he “did the state some service” for over thirty years before deciding that providing the good people of South Dublin with great wine might be even more satisfying! During this time Ivor was also working as a music critic and radio presenter and it was here that he learned that while there might be such things as a free lunch, free wine just isn’t worth lifting the glass for!

Having learned about wine from long languid holidays in Italy it was only when Ivor became familiar with The Wine Buff range that he truly appreciated the qualities of a good French and Spanish wine.

“In fact it was a chance gift of  French wine bought in The Wine Buff Clonmel, which introduced me to both the wines and the shops!, I did some further research on the businees and of course the wines and the rest is history” said Ivor.

So call in for a chat when we are open or a taste during Wine Time  at weekends. Ivor will be delighted to take you through our range of wines and his favourites.
