Jane Rakison

Six occasions. Six wines. What’s the best bottle to pour in each scenario? Everyone talks about matching wine with food, but what about the situation? Time, place and people all have a huge bearing on the success of a wine. Sommelier Jane Rakison is here to navigate you through the perennial middle-class minefield – how to choose the right wine. In this tasting event she’ll talk you through her selection of six wines, and then you can try them for yourself.

An award-winning writer, broadcaster and author raised in South Wales, Jane is best known as a wine expert on BBC1’s Saturday Kitchen Live. She has penned two books, edited magazines and written columns over the years, and she loves to host events (especially at festivals). She is an international judge for both food and wine.
