The first woman to become a Master of Wine as well as the first person outside the wine trade to do so, Jancis Robinson is a familiar name in the wine world. She is also the wine author of whose works I have the most volumes after Hugh Johnson, covering both her "autobiography" Tasting Pleasures, her collaborative volume with Johnson - The World Atlas of Wine as well as the above Guide as well as the earlier larger tome, Vine Grapes and Wine. Of course I have her most recent tome Wine Grapes on my Xmas wish list!
Apart from writing these tomes and a wine column for the Financial Times, Robinson has also made a BBC2 television wine course, which has been issued on DVD. Her Website Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages has both public and subscription access material and is very popular.
