Welcome to my random web of succulent wine tasting and travel features, winery profiles small and large, wines of the moment, real conversations with winemakers and moody regional guides. All stamped by my take on planet vino and some of the people who populate it. You'll also find restaurant tips, food and wine talk, and insights into posh spirits, craft beer and cider.

As well as 1000+ regular posts, the extensive 'wine words' pages, blog archive and A to Z list of featured countries and themes, highlighted below, reveal hundreds more articles published on WineWriting or other magazines and websites. These include organic, biodynamic and 'natural' wine producers, although certainly not exclusively.

FrenchMediterraneanWine was originally a southern France focused blog (now integrated into WW.com) packed with earthy opinions, hardworking winegrowers, and special wine places and vine-scapes across the Roussillon (delve deeper and buy my book!), Languedoc and southwest, Provence, French Riviera, Corsica and the Rhône Valley; plus Bordeaux, Burgundy, Alsace, Loire Valley and Champagne.

Obviously, any reviews or images of booze on this site are destined for those of legal drinking age, whatever that is in your part of the world. RMJ fully endorses sensible consumption of alcohol, especially with good food and company. Lecture over.
