Presentation:

The wine-writers' wine writer collects his best articles to explore the most profound and interesting questions about wine. A fascinating read for everyone with a broad interest in our cultural world.

“A new sort of literary gumption arrived on the scene with Andrew Jefford; a powerful blend of science and poetry. Here is a writer who does his interviews, delves deep into motives and methods, and then lets fly with whatever imagery he finds winging by.” Hugh Johnson (2019)

Poet, philosopher, author, radio presenter and journalist, Andrew Jefford lives in France; but buried deep in one wine country what does he miss most about the rest? The answer: “Drinking young port. It’s the wine drinker’s equivalent of zorbing, wing-walking, base-jumping … you won’t fully understand it unless you have tasted it young, in its ‘Ride of the Valkyries’ stage, when it comes hurtling out of the glass and puts the screamers on you...”

Andrew is the ideal companion for anyone wine-curious. In this collection of his essays, opinions and articles he shares his fascinating observations from half a century of discovery. For Andrew, wine should be listened to and admired, wherever it comes from; old-school pretensions turned on their head; style-points disdained; stellar prices dismissed; questions asked...

The author:

Andrew Jefford, born in Gloucestershire and raised in Norfolk, developed an early passion for wine, even experimenting with homemade versions in his youth. After studying at the Universities of Reading and East Anglia, he began his career in publishing before becoming, from 1988, a respected wine writer, critic, and educator.

He has contributed to major publications such as The Financial Times and Decanter, and plays a key role in the wine world, notably as co-chair of the Decanter World Wine Awards. An author of several books and also a published poet, he now lives in France after a period in Australia, and no longer makes his own wine.
