This memoir follows my life from growing up in Saskatchewan to writing 40 years for the Financial Post while also becoming a leading writer on Canadian wines (20 books.) I have become a champion of BC wine industry and have won a number of industry awards. At the same time, I travelled to most major wine regions around the world. The book also details those travels.
Goodgrog: a life in wine and journalism, chronicles the life, and especially the career of journalist John Schreiner, who may have had one of the most enviable jobs ever; wine writer. For over forty years, in newspaper and magazine articles and columns and through nineteen books, Schreiner has entertained and informed Canadian wine drinkers, championed British Columbia wineries and helped establish the credibility of the Canadian wine industry. His research for this has involved visiting and sampling the wares of wineries across: British Columbia, Canada, the US, Europe, South America, Australia, and New Zealand. He has also judged several prestigious wine competitions in Italy and British Columbia.
