Master of Wine Rose Murray Brown

Rose Murray Brown, MW on A Taste for Wine

We are delighted to announce our event and wine tasting with Rose for her new book A Taste for Wine, a complete guide to understanding, tasting and appreciating wine.

A Taste for Wine includes ten step-by-step tasting practices and a vast amount of knowledge on the varieties of wine:

- Begin with the very basics of taste, before learning how wine is made and the effect this has on flavour.
- Familiarize yourself with every significant grape variety and the wine countries of the world.
- Dive into natural, orange and low-alcohol wines, as well as expert at-home food and wine matching.
- Prepare for a changing world of wine, with features on everything from urban wineries to packaging for the future.

Rose Murray Brown is one of only 422 Masters of Wine - and one of only 154 female MWs - in the world.

After training at Sotheby's for 12 years as a wine and spirit specialist, Rose set up her own wine school in Scotland in 2001. Her wine school, Rose Murray Brown Masterclass, was rated as Scotland's best in the Top Ten places to learn about wine in the UK by the Telegraph.

Rose is also Scotland's leading award-winning wine journalist, and has been the weekly wine columnist at the Scotsman, Scotland's national newspaper, for 38 years.

She is a member of The Institute of Masters of Wine, Association of Wine Educators and Circle of Wine Writers, and has acted as the Drinks Judge for the Andre Simon Food & Drink Book Awards. In her spare time she is an active charity fundraiser - she created the popular Comic Relief Wine Fair which raised over £30,000 for Wine Relief.
