Send us a textEnding the 14th series of The English Wine Diaries on a high with one of the most well known winemakers in the UK, Emma Rice. Emma developed a fascination with fine wine while working as a waitress in The White Horse Inn, Chilgrove as a teenager in the 1990s. It was a chance taste of the 1979 vintage of Krug that was the lightbulb moment that began her career in wine. She got a job at Oddbins – a rite of passage for anyone going into the wine trade in the nineties – and studied here WSETs before travelling to New Zealand for a harvest. Back in the UK and after spotting an advert in the trade press for a Wine Editor, she was taken on as managing editor of Hugh Johnson's Pocket Wine Book, but  also got involved with the World Atlas of Wine. It was during this time that she made the move from London to Brighton and enrolled in the newly created Wine Production Course at Plumpton, becoming one of the first cohort of six to graduate in the UK.Time in Napa Valley and Tasmania followed but the excitement of working in the burgeoning domestic industry in the UK led her to return home and set up a wine analysis laboratory and consultancy in the South Downs. Through this, she was introduced to Simon Robinson, the owner of Hattingley Valley Wines, who asked her to build him a winery – the winery today remains one of the largest in the UK. During her 14 or so years at Hattingley, Emma was awarded UK Winemaker of the Year twice, and her wines won many awards including at The Champagne and Sparkling Wine World Championships and WineGB Supreme Champion. She left Hattingley Valley in 2022 and currently works as an independent consultant winemaker, releasing the first wines under her own brand last year. Emma talks honestly and opening about how the wine industry has changed over the years, including how the challenges she has faced along the way have pushed her to be the winemaker she is today. You can follow her latest projects on Instagram @ricerywine and emmarice.com.This episode of The English Wine Diaries is sponsored by Rankin Bros & Sons — trusted suppliers of corks, closures, and packaging solutions to the UK wine industry since 1774.

Kathleen Hill may be known in Sonoma as the IT's Food and Wine Editor, but her vast experiences go far beyond the realm of food. As a young peace-corps intern, she convinced her boss to take the team to the National Mall to listen to Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream Speech. As a student at the Sorbonne, she skipped classes to work at the Cordon Bleu. As an author, she's written more than 40 books on everything from local events to dictatorships in the Philippines -- she was even called a good cook by the master Julia Child herself! Listen to Kathleen talk about this and more on this episode of Hello Sonoma. It was a treat to have her on the show.

Why does it matter who tells the story or who is behind the camera? Food & Wine Editor-in-Chief Hunter Lewis discusses the evolution of how the magazine thinks about representation and social justice as a result of the pandemic and racial reckoning. “As we think about our role in food media, we are thinking much more intentionally not just about who we’re telling stories about, but who gets to tell the story. Who are we commissioning to tell that story? Who are we commissioning to shoot that photograph?,” he says. “[Our readers] are coming in for recipes and they want to be surprised and delighted, but there’s always a deeper story around food to tell.” He also shares his insights on the future of the hospitality and restaurant industries. “So many things that are continuing to shake out… You’ve got leaders in the industry who have been changing the way that they do business, changing their models, thinking about equity, and thinking about a more livable wage.”

Talia Baiocchi was Wine Editor at Eater.com at the time of this interview. Talia compares online to print wine writing and describes difficulties in becoming a wine writer. She explains why and how she came into the wine field, and answers questions like: Is food writing dead? And is there a need for wine list reviews? She discusses what a good wine list is, and how wine lists may look in the future. Talia also talks about some recent changes within the wine scene.

For decades Americans have relied on the opinion of their local newspaper's professional food critic when choosing where to dine. While many still turn to the pros, lots of people are also checking in with websites like yelp, urbanspoon and chowhound that house diner reviews before heading out to dinner. Today we'll talk with our resident foodie Patrick Evans-Hylton of Hampton Roads Magazine and Todd Kliman, Food and Wine Editor and food critic for The Washingtonian magazine, about the growing numbers of critics among us.
