Which wines to drink on St Patrick's Day

It’s hard to avoid the obvious on St Paddy’s Day. Guinness, Bailey’s and Irish whiskey are the usual suspects but if none of these appeals here are the sort of wines that will work with classic Irish fare.

Oysters

Smoked salmon and soda bread

When I worked at the National Theatre, we made chocolate mousse flavoured with coffee, served in a wine glass topped with whipped cream with a drop of Irish whiskey = cold Irish coffee.
