It&#8217;s something we find interesting (after all, it&#8217;s our career), but which is terribly boring and in-house for most readers, who really don&#8217;t care about the people and details that mean so much to us.<\/p>\n<p>But, occasionally, I break this rule. And this week, as one of the faculty at the Professional Wine Writers&#8217; Symposium, I&#8217;m being asked to talk about writing about wine. So I thought I&#8217;d gather some of my blog posts on the subject into one place.
