Jancis Mary Robinson

A Wine-Soaked Life

The Jocelyn and Robin Martin Memorial Lecture

Jancis Mary Robinson, weekly columnist on wine for the Financial Times, rose to fame in 1984 when she became the first Master of Wine (of the UK Institute of the same name) from outside the trade. In 2003, she was awarded an OBE (Order of the British Empire). She advises for the royal wine cellar of the Queen of England. Jancis Robinson co-authored the World Atlas of Wine with Hugh Johnson and is the editor of the Oxford Companion to Wine. She is viewed as a world authority on ampelography (the field of botany concerned with the identification and classification of grapevines).
