About the Author

Paul Strang is a lover of Southern France and its wines. After many gruelling, painstaking years of hard labour talking to the growers, eating and drinking in the Languedoc, he recently produced a completely revised bible of their wines entitled 'Languedoc Roussillon - The Wines and Winemakers' to add to his range of books on the area. Amongst his other talents, Paul was also the lawyer to The Wine Society when the wine stocks were moved from the cellars beneath the London Palladium to the new warehouse in Stevenage under the aegis of Edmund Penning-Rowsell. He also recalls the first computer system that The Wine Society installed and the ensuing interesting events.
