Wine: Let the wine world be your oyster

It’s oyster season again, and what better way to savour their delights than pairing them with a delectable wine?

Wine with oysters is one of nature’s great gifts: the creamy, unctuous saline mollusc and lip-smacking acid vino really is a match made in heaven

And some time make the time to drive out west

Into County Clare, along the Flaggy Shore,

In September or October, when the wind

And the light are working off each other

So that the ocean on one side is wild

With foam and glitter.

– Postscript, by Seamus Heaney

I’m drawn to the idea that our Nobel Prize-winning writer was lured west not just for the gloriously wild landscape, but also for its oysters ...
