meet the winemakers
There are hundreds of winemakers interviewed and featured under the 'organised tastings' and 'Features' links above, usually in the context of a big tasting report or a tour of a wine region. But now and again the
story is as much about the winemaker as the wine, so these "meet the winemakers" features were born.
It is difficult to know whether to arrange these in order of winemaker name or winery name. As many people will know a wine, but not necessarily who makes it, I have opted for the latter:
alphabetical by winery. Note that winemakers do change jobs from time to time, so some of the interviewees below will have moved on. Where possible I have noted this within the features.
I hope you enjoy getting to know this diverse bunch of character.
