Wine & Spirits Magazine’s Executive Editor, Tara Q. Thomas enjoys a brief break from tasting in the bar of Hotel de la Cité, Carcassonne, France. Of course, during this moment of respite, GFR cornered her with a camera and a barrage of questions.

 

After a week in Carcassonne (and surrounding environs) tasting a vast swathe of wines from the many appellations that call the region home, I had most certainly formed a number of opinions regarding the many bottlings on offer.

Occasionally guilty of being a little too extreme in the aforementioned opinions, I have come to learn that a bit of intimate discourse with my fellow wine scribes often helps me to temper some of my rougher critical edges. And no-one does a better job of tempering those rough edges than acclaimed wine writer and erudite taster, Tara Q. Thomas of Wines & Spirits Magazine
