Brothers Jim, Brendan, and Kevin O’Brien, owners of O'Briens Wine, along with new store manager Paul Murphy, officially opened the doors of the new 1500sq ft O’Briens Wine store at Ardkeen Shopping Centre on Friday, 27th July 2017.
Celebrations have been in full swing in the store all week, and they'll continue this Thursday, 3rd August, as WLR's Teresanne O'Reilly presents The Drive Home live from the new store.
As part of the show, Teresanne will chat to store manager and wine expert, Paul Murphy, to get top tips on choosing the perfect summer wine; he'll teach us how to decipher the good from the brilliant when it comes to new wines, and he'll tell us all about the incredible prizes you can win from O'Briens Wine on The Drive Home. Paul has over 30 years’ experience in the wine trade and has worked with O’Briens Wine since 2004 - so there'll be no better man to talk to!
The Waterford O’Briens Wine store is open seven days per week where you can ‘try before you buy’ in case you fancy something new. They also hold weekly wine tastings, and craft beer and spirits ‘tasting club’ nights.
This Thursday, listen to The Drive Home with Teresanne for all the latest news from O'Briens Wine and for the chance to win some nice prizes!

Paul's selection:
Rizzardi prosecco – Veneto, Italy was 20.95 now 17.95
Brilliant extra-dry Prosecco from this peerless old Veneto house. The perfect balance of ripe pear fruit and fine crisp backbone. A treat!
Rizzardi Pinot Grigio – Veneto, Italy as 14.95 now 9.95
Pinot Grigio as it is meant to be! Rizzardi's single estate wine is bursting with ripe pear and peachy fruit. This is a more serious, complex take on Pinot Grigio with honey and sweet spices adding to the rich pear fruit.
Insight Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand was 18.95 now 12.95
Made by Eveline Fraser from a single vineyard in Marlborough, this wine is what Cloudy Bay used to taste like! Amazing levels of intense fruit and a minerality that would not be out of place in Sancerre, this is not only different to most rival Marlborough Sauvignons but miles better!
Vina vedra Albarino – Rías Baixas, Spain was 16.95 now 12.95
Made with grapes grown in sustainably-managed vineyards, this stunning Albariño is from one of the Galicia's most innovative and modern wineries. Bursting with vibrant green fruit and a zesty finish, this wine is a must-try!
