Don’t have time to read? We produce plenty to listen to, too.

Start off with The Jancis Robinson Story, the story of Jancis Robinson’s life so far, told through a series of interviews with Jancis herself as well as family and friends – including luminaries such as Hugh Johnson and Julian Barnes. Produced by Richard Hemming MW, this seven-episode series gives you a clear idea of what makes Jancis – and by extension, the site she’s built over the last 25 years – so special.

For shorter, more frequent bits, subscribe to the Wine News in 5, a weekly newscast by Samantha Cole-Johnson, who cuts through all the noise to catch you up on the most important events shaping the world of wine– from technology to politics to natural disasters. Often shocking, sometimes funny, and always essential.

And for deep dives into multiple facets of wine, check out The JancisRobinson.com podcast, where you can delve into

  • food-and-wine pairing, with Jancis and Tam Currin
  • the story of Blind Ambition, with Tinashe Nyamudoka
  • wine and climate, with Kimberly Nicholas PhD
  • Bordeaux, with Christian Seely
  • making wine in Arizona, with musician/winegrower Maynard James Keenan

We are also in the process of launching Ask me anything! in which we attempt to answer all our burning questions about wine. Add your questions to this thread on our forum and we’ll do our best!
