Peter Ranscombe is a freelance journalist and copywriter, and the wine columnist and drinks blogger for Scottish Field magazine. He's privileged to travel the world to write about wine and its makers. To lessen his impact on the environment, Peter offsets the carbon dioxide emissions from his wine trips by paying Trees for Life to plant Scots pine and other native species in the Highlands, where Peter was born and raised and where he returns whenever he can.
