Meet the Winemaker

The world of food and wine matching now has a new scenario to contemplate: English wine. With a couple of Best of English, Meet the Winemaker dinners under his belt, it is clear that Artisan & Vine’s chef James Robson  has that deft yet inspired touch that works with the subtlety that is English wine.

At our last gathering, where Bolney Estate’s winemaker Sam Linter kept a packed room entranced with her tales from the field and cellar, James’ skill was very much in evidence.
