About me

Gender Male
Location France
Introduction Born in Plymouth, England, I had a varied early career including banking and advertising before an interest in wine led to me working for Oddbins in the U.K. A move to France in 1995 to run the wine merchant Mille Vignes in Wimereux, led to an increasing interest in the meaning of terroir and to the contact with vignerons working with natural methods in harmony with nature. Since 2005, as well as my writing activities, I lead seminaries and tastings. I also run made to measure vineyard visits to share my love of the southern French countryside. I am now living in the wine village of Cairanne, within sight of the Dentelles de Montmirail, so am ideally placed to pursue my passion for the wines of the area, and to research for the book which I am currently writing.
