Julian Alubaidy works for Irish wine merchants Bubble Brothers, trying to keep customers and suppliers happy, and making sure that the wine doesn't run out. These various duties ensure that there's never a shortage of material for the company's blog.

The wines of Clos Triguedina in Cahors have featured on the list since early days, and have subsequently been joined by Malbecs from the Loire as well as from further afield. The grape seems to suit Irish tastes, and Bubble Brothers are delighted to encourage and develop this growing enthusiasm.
