Cork Talk with Beverley Blanning
from The Tim Atkin Cork Talk Podcast · host timatkincorktalk
After spells in accountancy and advertising, Beverley Blanning decided that what she really wanted to do was write about wine, specialising in the Loire Valley, where she also has a house. She’s the ideal person to explain what makes this diverse, appealingly complex region so special, talking me through soil types, grape varieties, climate change, organic viticulture and the definition of what the locals call “vins ligériens”. To read more about Beverley have a look at the the Institute of Masters of Wine's website. You can also follow her on Instagram at @bevblanningmw. Don’t forget, Cork Talk is now available on Spotify as well as Apple Podcasts, where you can listen to this week’s episode, plus my back catalogue of interviews with some of the world’s most extraordinary wine figures.
