Starting next week: Jancis Robinson’s Bordeaux Futures value picks

posted by philip in Snooth, Wine, Partnerships

Jancis Robinson is truly one of the finest wine writers alive. As a fellow Brit, and having graduated with a similar degree from the same University, Oxford, (Maths and Philosophy for Jancis, Chemistry for me) I’ve always had an affinity for her writing, which reminds me, through its style and structure, of the country that I left behind when I moved here.

I found out recently that she was not only awarded an OBE (an honor signifying Officer of the Order of the British Empire) by Her Majesty the Queen, but that Jancis advises Her Royal Highness on the royal cellar.

With that said, we’re very pleased here at Snooth to be partnering with Jancis to bring you her views on the 2008 Bordeaux Harvest as well as her picks of the more affordable 2008 Bordeaux (less than $30).

You need to be signed up to Snooth and receiving our emails to take advantage of this extremely timely news. Keep an eye out for it over the next few days and weeks.

To those that don’t know of Jancis Robinson’s work I recommend the following: The Oxford Companion to Wine and the World Atlas of Wine, both staples on the desks of us here at Snooth. The atlas, in particular is a stunningly beautifully illustrated work. Finally, JancisRobinson.com, the home of the excellent Purple Pages - a ‘must read’ stop on your daily travels.
