L’occasion Passport: what it means to me to move around the world to taste wine and meet winemakers.

Galena is one of those delightful spots, with a historical downtown, …Continue reading here for Jill’s post on how her wine tasting (and writing) passion has stimulated the travel bug from Illinois to Burgundy, from Napa to Ireland.

Jill Barth

Jill is a writer whose characters make wine, love wine, and live wine. Research for her forthcoming novel–the story of a Provençal winemaking family during the Second World War–has afforded her glorious pleasures: meetings with ambitious French vignerons, travel up and down France in bouncy Renaults, overnights in shuttered châteaux, and many hours as a student of wine with a glass to her lips. In this role, she not only enjoys her own relationship with wine but she also indulges in the life of the French winemaking family that inhabits the pages of her novel.

Jill writes about wine, travel and occasionally yoga (she’s a certified yoga instructor). Her fiction has been featured on NPR and has been published in several literary journals.

Her writings can also be found on her blog L’Occasion.
