Introducing Sam Caporn

Sam Caporn MW

The Mistress of Wine

My debut wine book - The Wine Flavour Guide - details why wine tastes the way that it does. It incorporates my unique Wine Flavour Tree and runs the ten 'flavour branches' through the four different seasons to match wine and food to the ideal time of year.
My second book - English Wine: Your Essential Companion, from Vine to Wine - is out now and takes you on a tour around England's best vineyards and wineries, perfect for planning an English 'wine escape'!
