Marcus Best
Marcus Best spends his time drinking, talking and writing about wine, usually in that order. For more than four decades, he has been begging, borrowing and buying bottles, building a deep well of knowledge and stories along the way. In recent years, often in the company of experts and friends, he has turned his attention to decluttering not only his own cellar but those of fellow collectors. An enthusiastic raconteur, he remains as passionate about the stories behind the wines as the wines themselves.
