At a presentation last night in London Inside Burgundy – the vineyards, the wine & the people by Jasper Morris MW won the 2010 André Simon Drink Book Award.
Sarah Jane Evans MW, who presented the award, said: “It is a labour of love – Jasper’s life work – and it is beautifully written. A detailed book on Burgundy could have been inaccessible but the design is excellent – it looks modern and draws you in.”

by Adam Lechmere- The 2010 Bordeaux campaign has started amidst considerable confidence on the part of chateau owners and the wider wine community.
At this early stage of a week that will see 5000 of the international wine trade, including 250 journalists, from 68 different countries, descend on Bordeaux for a week of barrel tastings, all the signs are that 2010 will take its place alongside 09 as a memorable vintage.
