    Episode 6 - John Forrest

    Charlotte Kristensnen, The London Wine Girl, is joined by Dr John Forrest, owner of Forrest Wines based in New Zealand. John has been working in wine for over 30 years, and set up Forrest Wines in the 1980s when New Zealand wine had just started to become extremely popular internationally. Prior to setting up Forrest Wines, John worked as a research scientist - and it seems that John’s science background influenced his wine making! He has been a pioneer in creating low-alcohol wines following years of research and development into vineyard training and harvesting techniques. Today, John talks to us about founding Forrest Wines and his pioneering collection of low alcohol wines, how the New Zealand wine industry has developed since the 80s and his love of food and wine pairings.

    Episode 4 - Sophie Lord

    In partnership with Virgin Wines www.virginwines.co.uk - Charlotte Kristensen, The London Wine Girl, is joined by wine buyer Sophie Lord. Sophie has been working in the wine industry for 15 years. She is particularly fascinated by the way in which nature is connected to wine. When we see a finished bottle of wine in its nice packaging and labelled beautifully, we often forget that wine begins its journey in the vineyard. But grapes and the vines are at the mercy of many natural elements year-on-year! Sophie talks to us about the power of nature and weather challenges faces by several wine regions. We also discuss how wine producers are working with nature and the growth of organic and biodynamic vineyards.  In partnership with Virgin Wines.
