Wine Women and Words

 

Just a few short decades ago wine journalism was a male domain.

Then along comes  a few pioneers like Jancis Robinson and the world turns.

Here you will find a few of my favourite books, Blogs (coming) newsletters (coming) lenses and other bits and pieces from the web.

It is still a work in progress.   You can help by telling me about something I missed (in the guestbook) or by voting for your favourite.
