LovELY piece @gnelis, thank you! Got to love what you’re doing to get to 25! We couldn’t do it without amazing staff, past & present, brilliant customers & a phenomenal Irish supplier & producer network. #teamwork #Irishfood #ELYWineBar #LovELY

Great to chat to Erik and Michelle about 25 years of @elywinebars 👇

@GrapevineDalkey @Wine_Allies As long as they’re organic lemons Gabriel (ideally with a plate of prawns and a bottle of something interesting) we’ll drink to that! Well done on your own 25 years!

@Wine_Allies @elywinebars Old lemons? I’m not sure Erik and Michelle will be happy with that 😉

Why the 1990s were good for wine in Ireland – The Irish Times Congratulations to the old lemons - the heyday of the 90s is right! ⁦@GrapevineDalkey⁩ ⁦@elywinebars⁩ irishtimes.com/food/drink/202…

1999 hits the mark with @Wilsononwine in today’s @IrishTimesMag and the @arpepe1860 Il Pettirosso 1999 is “A Superb wine from a very fine producer; supremely elegant with complex savory, earthy plum & red cherry fruits….Gorgeous wine.” Cheers 1999 #ELYWinebar #Dublin

Seems like only yesterday 🫣In great company @LeCaveau1 @GrapevineDalkey & #Terroirs

New Season menu at ELY Wine Store Maynooth Saddle of Lamb, spring Risotto, broadbeans, peas, wild garlic. #delicious #elymaynooth

Cardellino by @ElenaWalch has it all. Racy with minerality and texture. Reminiscent of quality Chablis but with its own personality that’s a tad richer, a little juicer and there’s a long, engaging finish that merits taking time to savour it. Instore #elymaynooth Happy Easter!

@mistereatgalway In Barcelona recently to meet a supplier. 3 days enjoying wine bar/restaurant scene & city in general. Everything decided by where we ate. It was the hospitality offering that made the difference. Without the independent businesses there’d be no sustainable tourism. #supportlocal

I am very concerned about the impact of the upcoming auto-enrolment of the new pension scheme on small and medium businesses. We are being wiped out. On top of wage increases, energy increases, and food increases there is very little room left to make an already small margin. If the restaurant industry was the banking industry the government would be rushing to save it? Why is the independent restaurant, cafe, and pub industry in Ireland being allowed to die? We have only recently begun to receive international recognition for our food and drink. Has all this been in vain? Will banks and international businesses be the only ones left in Ireland after all this? I hope not, but there are times when this avalanche seems unstoppable. Take care everyone and support your local business.

@TheSeaHare Genuinely sorry to read this ladies! An intelligent, insightful, inspiring enterprise in beautiful Ireland. Clearly a labour of love but we, the hospitality industry, know how difficult it is right now to keep delivering ‘hospitality’. Relax, recharge and rebound.

THAT’S A WRAP. Like the rest of our industry we have found it impossible knock after knock there is only so much we can take. We are in hospitality, so we are hospitable, kind, hardworking, fair, generous, etc fighting government is just too much now. Thanks you all.

Due to a burst water mains in Maynooth, Ely Wine Store will be closed today. So no Coffee or Cleaning… See you tomorrow though.
