JAMES MAYOR
Hello! I’m James Mayor, writer and journalist. I write about wine, sustainability, travel, and humanitarian, cultural and political subjects. We all know the headlines - I’m interested in the back story: the people and what they do that’s game changing…
A talented winemaker is like a great artist, creating in a fertile space between agriculture and artistic invention. This makes for fascinating conversations!
