Peter Richards began his love affair with wine as a journalist in Chile, spending six months touring 100 or so wineries, before returning to the UK and winning Webster's Young Wine Writer Award in 2001 - for an article on Chile. His first book, Wineries with Style (Mitchell Beazley), won the Gourmand Award for Best Wine Tourism/Atlas in 2004. A regular visitor to South America, Richards' expertise on Chile is much in demand, his writing features regularly in newspapers and wine magazines including Decanter, and his website, www.winedevinity.com, serves as a lively introduction to the world of wine.
