 Keith is a very
experienced and hugely popular wine tutor and presenter. He was one of the
founder members of the Association of Wine Educators.
His style is
lighthearted, humorous and sometimes irreverent. He is always in high demand for
tutored tastings for wine societies and corporate clients who are often amazed
at the amount of information presented so passionately in such an entertaining
manner. However, Keith is also well qualified in matters of education, including
a Masters that involved research into aspects of quality and learning
environments in adult education and training.
He is
particularly knowledgeable about the wines of Bordeaux, Burgundy, Germany and
South Africa. He leads tour groups of trade and consumers to these vineyard
regions, again with the accent on education, enjoyment and cultural experience.
He is author of
Grapewine - the first structured distance learning wine course. His books
include ‘Wine Production – Vine to Bottle’ (co-author Hazel Tattersall) and
‘Wine Quality – Tasting and Selection’, which won the Gourmand Award for Best
Wine Education Book in the World. Keith travels extensively throughout the old
and new worlds and is consultant winemaker at Château St Hilarion in
Cyprus and the Turkmen Winery at Karakoç in Thrace.
