Rob Cowan's guest this week is wine critic and journalist Jancis Robinson. Jancis started her wine writing career in 1975, when she became assistant editor for the trade magazine Wine & Spirit. In 1984 she became the first person outside the wine trade to become a Master of Wine. She also served as British Airways' wine consultant, supervised the BA Concorde cellar luxury selection, and provides advice for the Queen's wine cellar. Her book, Jancis Robinson's Wine Course, written to accompany her BBC 2 series, has been published in several editions. She was made an OBE in 2003, and her many accolades include multiple Glenfiddich Awards and André Simon Memorial Awards. As a wine writer she edited The Oxford Companion to Wine, and The World Atlas of Wine, which she co-authored with Hugh Johnson, is one of the world's leading wine atlases. She currently writes for her own website, as well as a weekly column for the Financial Times.
