Everything I wrote in October

For two weeks this October I was travelling in the Rhône valley, tasting the 2016 vintage and taking notes for publication soon on JancisRobinson.com. In the meantime, here's the other writing I've been doing.

• On JancisRobinson.com, I wrote:
  • 92 tasting notes on some very good Cru Bourgeois clarets from 2015 (subscription required)
  • 59 tasting notes from some of the Loire's top names (subscription required)
  • My Spittoon column asked whether wine is an art or a science. Spoiler: it's an art (free to read)
• My Living France column covered Merlot
• My Drinks Retailing News column discussed the perpetual pendulum of taste
• And I wrote four blog posts here, including one about tasting en primeur samples which got plenty of traffic.
