Eiron
Foyer biography :
Eiron ( Pronounced like ' Aaron ' ) was educated at Winchester in
1947, and later at Cork
Polytechnic where he obtained a double first in psychopharmacology.
After a short spell in Equatorial New Guinea, he returned to Ireland where,
making use of a substantial
family inheritance, he founded a company specialising in tropical
greenhouses .
It was during this time he started his lifelong passion for viniculture.
He also began his career as journalist, travelling extensively, visiting
restaurants, and writing regular columns for the food supplement of the
much-missed ‘Cork Examiner’.
Sadly in the 1980’s Eiron suffered a psychological breakdown. It was
not, as some have insinuated, in any way attributable to an addiction to
absinthe, artemesia, or any of its derivatives.
Now, almost fully recovered, Eiron writes the ‘Ask Eiron ’ column
for Really Magazine magazine, and also restores wax Edison cylinders.
Eiron is a founder member of CaCL(uk), and chairman of CaFAA(uk).
He lives in Andorra with his two companions.
