Eliva Press: Please introduce yourself. What would you like your reader to know about you? 

- I am a retired Professor of Haematology.  Apart from my wife and family my main interest is in wine. I have been writing about wine for over 25 years and still write for The Blood Project, a Harvard based website.

Eliva Press:  What is your inspiration/motivation? 

- We have a small house in Tuscany so the surrounding countryside is covered in vines. I have become friendly with a number of oenologists. I began writing monthly articles for The Irish Medical Times about 25 years ago under the name Giovanni Morelli which I thoroughly enjoyed. More latterly I wrote about wine and blood for the international journal Bone Marrow Transplantation. My motivation was to demystify all the surrounding myths about wine.
