Fiona Beckett with Jacky Blot in Montlouis early October 2010
Fiona Beckett, who is the Guardian's new wine writer, has just launched a new blog called Wine Naturally.
Her first post starts thus:
'Why drink natural wine?
Or, more to the point - why devote a whole blog to it? It’s a long story. My husband got into natural wine a couple of years ago and I have to say I was rather sniffy about it. I thought most of the reds I tasted were unappealingly rustic and a lot of the whites tasted of cider.'
This is a very welcome new blog which hopefully will provide a forum to discuss the issues raised by and surrounding natural wines.

In contrast a link to an entirely pointless new video from James Suckling. He seems to be determined to prove that he's a complete twat.
