Raymond Blake is one of Ireland’s leading wine writers. His enthusiasm for wine is boundless and as an independent voice his judgement is widely respected. As a wine writer, his travels have taken him to the far-flung corners of the wine world, but his spiritual home is Burgundy. He is the author of the books Breakfast in Burgundy and Wine Talk. He writes regularly for World of Fine Wine, Sommelier India and wine-searcher.com, and is a member of the Circle of Wine Writers. In 2006 he was inducted as a Chevalier du Tastevin in Burgundy.
