Contact Ivor

Ivor was born and reared in the area and lives a mere 7 minutes walk from the shop. 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 wine. In fact it was a chance gift of a bottle of French wine, bought in The Wine Buff Clonmel, which introduced Ivor to both the wine and the shops!

These days Ivor finds it hard to better the wines from Regis Moro, in particular Pelan Bellevue, for quality and value. He does occasionally, when he feels he deserves it, open a bottle of Vacqueyras or a Chateaux Des Graviers Margaux.
