This is Vic Williams
10th February 2010
Vic Williams loves wine and food, and firmly believes that if more families sat down once a day to share an honest meal and good conversation, the world would be a better place.
Vic is Cellar Director for the New Zealand Wine Society, New Zealand wine consultant for Cathay Pacific Airways and wine and food editor for the Wine, Food & Art book series in New Zealand and Australia. He has written 10 editions of the annual Penguin New Zealand Wine Guide and was co-author, with Julie LeClerc, of The Vineyards of New Zealand Cookbook. This much-reprinted publication won the award for Best English Language Food and Wine Matching Book in the World at the annual Gourmet Cookbook Awards in France. He has also acted as New Zealand food and wine editor for Fodor's Guides and Courvoisier's Book of the Best and has hosted radio and television wine and food programmes on television.
During the 25 years that Vic has been writing and speaking about wine and food, his columns and articles have appeared in many publications in New Zealand and overseas. He has delivered presentations on New Zealand wine and food in Melbourne, Sydney, Seattle, San Francisco, New York, Hong Kong and on board cruise liners.
