The only problem with France having so many historically famous wine regions is that other districts have been neglected. Better training, improved technology (especially refrigeration) and a move away from bulk wine production has led to a surge in ...
We’re big fans of Rhône Valley, and we regularly feature the wines from this fascinating part of France in our tastings. And once again, we've been offered the opportunity by Inter-Rhône, the professional association of the reg...

Bordeaux is the most famous wine region in the world. Why? We’ll see if we can answer that question in this session. There’ll be reds based on the region’s two main grapes, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, and there’ll also be a...
We could easily have filled a couple of sessions with fine Australian styles, but for this first deep dive, we’ve confined the line-up to the classics. For those who still think of Australia as making wines that are all brawn and no brain, be p...
