Vintners' Tales Episode 8: John Avery MW

In 1998, Jancis Robinson MW interviewed John Avery MW (1941–2012), head of Averys Wine Cellars and chairman of the International Wine and Food Society – a man whose disorganization is said to have been exceeded only by his generosity. In this episode he and Jancis discuss Ronald Avery, the founder of Averys; the company’s biggest business disaster; and one of the many brands he and his father brought to Britain.
