Steven Spurrier

A Conversation with Steven Spurrier

British wine icon Steven Spurrier, who has been called “the man who changed wine forever” thanks to his role in organizing the momentous Judgement of Paris tasting in 1976.

A consultant editor for Decanter and one of the masterminds behind the new Académie du Vin Library initiative, Spurrier has long been a champion of good wine as well as good wine writing. Both have the capacity to elevate the senses, inform and educate. His life in wine has cast him in countless roles where he has excelled: journalist, buyer, entrepreneur, vintner, mentor, restaurateur, educator, judge, communicator and consultant.

Join Spurrier and Christopher Waters for a free-ranging conversation about his life’s pursuit, his memoirs A Life in Wine and his current passion project, making sparkling wine at his winery, Bride Valley Vineyard.

‘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.
