Wines of the Languedoc: Classic Wine Library

Rosemary George MW was lured into the wine trade by a glass of the Wine Society's champagne at a job interview and subsequently became one of the first women to become a Master of Wine, back in 1979. She has been a freelance wine writer since 1981 and is the author of twelve books, including French Country Wine, which first took her to the south of France. Back in the mid-1980s she realized that this was a region of enormous potential and consequently went on to write The Wines of the South of France (2001). This was the beginning of her enthusiasm for the Languedoc, which she has followed up most recently with The wines of Faugères. President of the Circle of Wine Writers, she writes a blog on the region (www.tastelanguedoc.blogspot.com) and contributes to various magazines such as Decanter and Sommelier India.
