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. As well as restaurant tips, food and wine talk, and insights into posh spirits, craft beer and cider.

The extensive 'wine words' pages, blog archive and A to Z list of featured countries and themes are highlighted in this column below, revealing hundreds of posts and articles published on WineWriting.com or other magazines and websites. These include organic, biodynamic and 'natural' wine producers, but certainly not exclusively.

'French Mediterranean Wine' is the mostly south of France part of the blog oozing with earthy opinions and 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; as well as 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.
