Description
How to drink Australian is a landmark wine book by American sommeliers Jane Lopes and Jonathan Ross.Jane and Jonathan have intimate knowledge of the wine scene in Australia, having both worked professionally here; Jane as wine director at renowned Melbourne restaurant Attica, and Jonathan as beverage director at Rockpool Dining Group.Jane and Jonathan were so blown away by the wines they experienced during their time here that upon returning to the US in 2020 they founded Legend, a wine imports company specialising in Australian wine.Incidentally, the Legend roster includes a couple of producers that have previously featured on this podcast; Sailor Seeks Horse and Stargazer out of Tasmania.With their new book, How to Drink Australian, Jane and Jonathan aim to fill the void of quality literature on Australian wine.It features exhaustive analysis of every significant region, stunning and detailed maps, producer profiles and more, all curated with a reverence for Australia's first custodians.I caught up with Jane recently for this interview that I’m excited to share with you on the Drinks Adventures podcast.
