The shortlist for the 2010 Louis Roederer International Wine Writers’ Awards has just been announced. Following on from Julia’s success last year come two listings for JancisRobinson.com, namely International Wine Website of the Year for Team Jancis, and Emerging Wine Writer of the Year for me, the latter being a new category for this year.
The prize for each winner is £1,500, a magnum of Cristal and an engraved trophy. Those deliberating on the panel of judges are Charles Metcalfe (chairman), Tim Atkin MW, Susy Atkins, Christine Austin, Victoria Moore, Christine Parkinson and Tom Stevenson. Results will be announced at a ceremony in London this September.
The list, as you’ll see below, is chock full of talented people, and no category will be won easily. Congratulations to all those shortlisted!
