Book description
Wine is the perfect accompaniment to many things - food, evenings in
with partners, evenings out with friends - but how often do you go
straight for the one you know well, too unsure to try something
different? 1001 Wines is the perfect accompaniment to your drinking to
make the most of what's available. Neil Beckett's interest in wine
stretches back for many years, so much so that his MBA dissertation was
on White Burgundy. He has spent time in Burgundy, and has also qualified
for the WSET Diploma, graduating with distinction. As well as working
for wine shipping company Richards Walford, he has also worked at
Harpers Wine & Spirit Weekly where he was a contributing editor for
many years and in 2004 became the first editor of the
critically-acclaimed, leading wine magazine, The World of Wine, on which
he works with Hugh Johnson and Andrew Jefford. He is one of two UK
tasters on the Grand Jury Européen du vin and his wine writing has won
prizes.
