Cork Talk with Cherie Spriggs
from The Tim Atkin Cork Talk Podcast · host timatkincorktalk
Cherie Spriggs was born in Canada, but has made her name in England at Nyetimber as one of the world’s leading sparkling winemakers. A classically trained pianist, she says she likes to think of blending her wines in musical terms. Our fascinating conversation covered her love of running, her drive for perfection, the differences between grapes from West Sussex, Kent and Hampshire and why she feels sorry for Pinot Meunier. To read more about Cherie have a look at the Nyetimber website. You can also follow the winery on Instagram at @nyetimber. 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.
