A Life in Wine by Steven Spurrier

Steven Spurrier was one of the wine trade’s most influential figures. Over the years, he held the roles of wine merchant, buyer, educator and lecturer; and he wrote books, wine courses and over 300 columns for Decanter magazine. He also set up the breakthrough ‘Judgement of Paris’ in 1976. This memoir reflects on Steven’s life, charting the incidents, adventures, ideas and discoveries that formed his wine journey. Along the way, he had the privilege not only to taste the finest wines, but to judge them and work with the winemakers who created them.
