Cork Talk with Jane Anson

Author of Inside Bordeaux and publisher of janeanson.com, Jane Anson is one of the leading commentators on the wine’s of the Gironde region. I caught up with her to chat about the many links, both historic and current, between Bordeaux and Rioja. It’s a fascinating tale of priets, pioneers, wars, trade, railways, vineyard plagues, envy, collaboration and missed opportunities. What more can you ask for to start the new year?
