Cork Reader Ruth Fortune has found her favourite store (Irish Times Magazine Sat 21st July) The best shops in Ireland: the search continues: O'Keeffe's shop in St. Luke's Cross. "It's the kind of local shop I've always wanted to live near", she says, claiming the customers "reflect the mix of people in the area - long-time Cork natives and lots of newcomers from all corners". "When I was in there the other day," she explains "the man ahead of me in the queue ... an older gentleman, not especially dressed up ..... bought cigarette papers and blue cheese. That sums it up".

Bordeaux 2005 Vintage Most wine experts would describe the Bordeaux 2005 vintage as "a text-book harvest for all of Bordeaux. The sun shone almost permanently and the showers came exactly when and where required to add the final touch, and all this after a dry hot season, during which what little rain there was fell just before all the vital sequences of the vine's cycle.
