Steven Spurrier: A Life in Wine (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781913141073)

Few people have so profoundly informed, guided and inspired generations through their journeys in wine. Steven Spurrier is one of England's great modern renaissance figures and a colossus in the world of fine wine. - Andrew Caillard MW. Steven Spurrier is a legendary figure in the world of wine, known as an educator, innovator, consultant and communicator, he has inspired many newcomers to the trade and earned the respect of celebrated winemakers the world over. Steven is perhaps best known for masterminding the remarkable 1976 blind tasting of top Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay wines from Bordeaux and California that came to be known as the 'Judgement of Paris'. A recreation of this event was held in 1986, then again in 2006 when the wines were tasted simultaneously in London and Napa. Steven has written eight books on wine and in 2017 was named Decanter Man of the Year and Honorary President of the Wine & Spirit Education Trust.
