Some of my wine writing…

My wine column for the Virginia Water Magazine, 2020-23

In 2020 I was asked to write a series of monthly wine columns for The Virginia Water Magazine, and am making these available below for those who would like to read them (.png or .jpg images as well as larger sized .pdf versions – just click on the titles or images). The choice of wine recommendations is largely explained by a wish primarily to find wines that are available locally to exemplify the month’s theme, and that also reflect a variety of different price points.
