I've been an avid Decanter reader for about a decade; I first subscribed while doing my WSET qualifications. As a Francophile, my favourite wine regions are Bordeaux - I named my eldest daughter Margaux after a visit there - (white) Burgundy and Champagne.

Decanter covers these regions in great depth and has given me ideas for wines to try, especially among the lesser-known appellations. My favourite recent article was Tom Hewson's piece on finding Champagne houses that match your tasting preferences (December 2024 issue). Bordeaux en primeur is also always a highlight.

Coming from a family that generally drank beer, spirits, Champagne and Sherry only on special occasions, my relationship with wine began while travelling in Europe - particularly to Burgundy.
