About the Speaker
Wink Lorch has been immersed in the world of wine since the 1980s, with a special focus on the Jura region. Her groundbreaking book Jura Wine (2014) was the first comprehensive English-language guide to the region, winning the André Simon Drink Prize and earning acclaim from Jancis Robinson and the New York Times.
A decade later, she followed up with Jura Wine: Ten Years On (2024), offering fresh insights into the evolving producers, wines, and trends of this distinctive region. Wink continues to live between London and the French Alps, writing, teaching, and championing Jura wines around the world.
