Born in Pennsylvania, but now a British-American living in France, Aaron Ayscough made his way out to LA at the young age of 23, and even to his surprise, became a prominent Italian wine buyer with famed pizza chef, Nancy Silverton. Looking for an escape a few years later, Aaron headed to Paris working in fashion and organically, no pun intended, made his way into the thriving natural wine scene. He hung with all the Paris natural wine luminaries before moving to Beaujolais where he got a sense of the real natural wine culture, and started his wine writing and wine making. In 2015 he launched his wine blog appropriately named “Not Drinking Poison” and has also Sommeliered at some of Paris’ best wine restaurants. Aaron’s perseverance and passion for natural wine has led him to write “The World of Natural Wine: What It Is, Who Makes It and Why It Matters."Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.
