Regular features:

Check out my regular features for the Telegraph – they’re all at telegraph.co.uk on the Susy Atkins page and are your guide to the very best wines and drinks to buy with a firm emphasis on value for money, and perhaps a little inclined towards cool-climate wines (England and New Zealand in particular…).

Delighted to be returning to this lovely festival to host wine tastings on the early evening of 24 September and afternoon of 25 September. Wines are from the ever-interesting list at Wickham Wines. Tickets from appledorebookfestival.co.uk

Dartmouth Food Festival, 23 - 25 October:

This year at the brilliant Dartmouth Food Festival I'll be hosting a wine tasting and seminar on modern Austrian wines from the Neusiedlersee​​ region on the Saturday pm - fine whites, reds and sweet wine​​s to taste. And before that co-hosting a light lunch on Saturday with wines to match each course with my mate Fiona Beckett at The Flavel Theatre. These events sell out FAST so look out for the box office opening at dartmouthfoodfestival.com.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
