ABOUT:
Jamie Goode is an established wine journalist but you can access all his best bits for free on his blog. He tastes and travels relentlessly to bring readers new ideas and confirm trusted favourites in the wine department. Goode has been blogging since 2001 and his archives are shaping themselves into a wine encyclopedia, though he does blog about his family and Labradoodles as well.
BLOG SNIPPET:
“I don’t think Riesling will ever be fashionable, but I do enjoy it. Tonight I’m sipping a nice one from Leitz in Germany’s Rheingau, who I visited last May. It’s not one of their top wines, but it is very drinkable – the Rudesheimer Kabinett 2008, showing honeyed, limey fruit and crisp grapefruit notes on the finish. At £13.50 from Booths it’s probably (if I’m being honest) a little over-priced, but it is bringing me considerable pleasure after a difficult day. And it’s only 8.5% alcohol (with 36 g/l residual sugar).”

If you love food, your experience can only be bettered by learning to love wine in the same way. Shame to spoil a decent dinner with a dud match.
