Out in Doonbeg, Dan Mulhall and his son John run a small wine-importing operation, in parallel with the family engineering business. Regular visitors to France for ages, the Mulhalls are concentrating on French wines from small producers, at keen prices - for sale both to local retailers and restaurants, and to private customers by the case (which can be mixed). The Loire is a special interest (the Savennieres, Domaine du Closel, is no stranger to this page); Languedoc-Roussillon is the latest region to be added to the list. Even if you buy nothing, you'll enjoy the personal touch - Dan Mulhall is a great man for a chat.
