THE SUPERMARKET WINE GUIDE

My new book ‘The supermarket wine guide’ does what it says! 

Over 180 wine recommendations from the major UK supermarkets covering all styles, whatever your budget. You’re welcome. 

UNDER A RIVERA MOON

My fifth and most recently published fiction book, Under A Riviera Moon. Published on the 12th April it’s set (mainly) in Provence, Paris and New York and tells the story of Maggie who, when sent on an errand by her mother to Cannes, is keen to get it over with as quickly as possible.

THIS IS US

Published in Sept ’22. It’s a story of love, friendship and motherhood. There’s also a book club and quite a bit of wine involved, obviously.

IN JUST ONE DAY

This is my second fiction book and as the cover suggests, part of the story takes place in Venice. Set in a wine shop, it’s about how life can change just like that.

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING

This is my first fiction book, published in 2021. It’s a love story, really, set in Rome and Cornwall. And yes, there are Negronis.

A WINE EXPERT'S GUIDE TO THE BEST BOOZE-FREE DRINKS

I know, I didn’t think I’d write a book about this either but then it’s not easy going dry and it not being a bit, well, boring. I hope this helps.

HOMEMADE COCKTAILS

My cocktail book! And it’s all about making simple cocktails with ingredients that you might actually have in the cupboard at home. Measures are generous, natch.

The Supermarket Wine Guide

I’ve written a new wine book! The Supermarket Wine Guide is out on the 21st May 2026 and I am SO very excited. It’s well over a decade since my first wine book The Knackered Mother’s...

Under A Riviera Moon

I can’t quite believe I am typing this but my fifth fiction book Under A Riviera Moon is here! Well, almost. Published on the 12th April it’s set (mainly) in Provence, Paris and New York...

The Weakest Link

You know I said doing Mastermind was the scariest thing I’ve ever done? I take it back. Turns out The Weakest Link is way more terrifying. So much so I forgot to listen to the first question...

On the case

With just a couple of weeks left until Christmas it’s time to stock up the wine racks and as ever I’ve got a couple of mixed cases for you, lovingly put together with the team from my...

Knackered Update

Goodness me it’s been a while. I’ve missed you! And I’ve missed writing this blog but to be honest things have changed a little. When I first started I was working part time and had...

Celebrity Mastermind

I know, I can’t believe it either. But yes, I did Celebrity Mastermind and it airs on BBC1 this Saturday. My specialist subject is Jackie Collins (natch) and no spoilers but remember it’s...

Off Piste

Happy New Year to you! A bit late but I had a busy start to the year hanging out (literally) in my swimwear doing a wine tasting in a hot tub halfway up a Swiss mountain ON NATIONAL TELEVISION. I...

Drinks Party

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve done drinks with Luke Evans, WineTime with Kat (and a church full of brilliant women!) and sung carols with Cliff Richard. Honestly, I couldn’t feel more...

Christmas Drinks

I get loads of messages every week asking for wine recommendations for various things – a birthday present, a special dinner, something for the fridge door – but at the moment all anyone...
