A Conversation with Hugh Johnson

Watch this conversation with Hugh Johnson as he chats about his recently revised The Story of Wine and how our understanding and appreciation of wine has evolved over his extraordinary 60-year career.

Since the publication of his first book, Wine, at the age of 27, Johnson has forged a reputation as one of the subject’s most knowledgable communicators. His rare talent for making the most complex subjects readable has led to a remarkable sequence of books including The World Atlas of Wine, Wine Companion and his much-loved annual Pocket Wine Book, which is now in its 44th year.

Christopher Waters, wine columnist for The Globe and Mail, will lead a discussion with Johnson over the course of what promises to be an informative and enjoyable session with one of the foremost minds in the world of wine.

The topic of Wine is filled with a mythology built on rules and intimidations, leaving us feeling insecure. Yet nothing breaks down barriers and brings us together as we take notice of the relationships built and conversations held over a glass of wine.

‘Peter has shot like a comet through the wine-skies over the past 50 years. People all over the world of wine have looked up suddenly to see this mysterious light, brighter than any satellite, whizzing by…’ ~Hugh Johnson.
