About This Lesson

Join me at the Wiston Estate Winery in East Sussex – an award-winning English sparkling wine producer – as I talk to their winemaker, Dermot Sugrue, about how he views his role in the winemaking process.

Helen McGinn

International wine judge, presenter, acclaimed author. Fortnum & Mason’s ‘Drink Writer of the Year’.

With over a decade of experience sourcing and sampling wines from around the world, it’s safe to say Helen McGinn knows a good bottle. When she moved away from her career as a wine-buyer to raise a family, the requests for recommendations from friends and family persisted and her fascination with good wine remained - so she set up her now award-winning blog ‘The Knackered Mother’s Wine Club’. As well as sharing tips on where to buy the best wine, Helen used her substantial knowledge to help people navigate and understand the complexities of different wines. It’s Helen’s approachable ability to give anyone the confidence to choose and drink better wine that has earnt her a regular seat on ITV’s This Morning and BBC’s Saturday Kitchen. She is also an international wine judge and an author of two novels.
