A beguiling, beautiful snapshot of Central Otago wine - its history, its distinction, and the people who have made it all happen.
Viv Milsom's family were wine and spirit merchants in Dunedin, so
when she was growing up Sunday roast was always accompanied by a
glass of imported red or white wine. Ski holidays in Central Otago
were also part of family life.
Gaining a BA Hons in Political Studies and English from the
University of Otago, Viv went on to work as a television and radio
news journalist. A switch to secondary education and, in
particular, teaching English led to an interest in print
journalism. Ten years ago Viv moved to Central Otago to work as a
freelance writer and journalist. The Vineyards of Central Otago is
her first book.
When not writing, Viv loves to spend time with her family, play
golf, ski, travel and walk the hills near her Wanaka home with her
chocolate lab Fudge.
