Sarah listens intently to Jean-Laurent Vacheron@Les Belles Dames vineyard. (13 August 2008)
Some ten years ago Sarah Ahmed (aka The Wine Detective) left her high powered and remunerative job as an international lawyer to seek her fortune in wine. She is a Loire and Chenin Blanc aficionado. Sarah looks after the Loire section of the Oz Clarke Pocket Wine Book, as well as Portugal, and is a valued member of the Loire panel of judges for the Decanter World Wine Awards. She has a particular interest in the Loire’s organic and biodynamic producers.
"Anything you say will be noted and may be
used as evidence against you ..........."
Sarah is one of the very few UK wine journalists and writers, who is a regular at the annual Salon des Vins de Loire. held in Angers. Most of the UK wine press can't be arsed to take advantage of this friendly, well organised Salon that, every February, covers the whole of Loire – France's third largest wine region. Just four of us represented the UK at the 2008 edition – what a contrast to the UK wine buyers who are well represented. The 2009 edition is from 2nd to 4th February.
