KATIE SPAIN

SA state editor

Essen restaurant review, p41

A connection to produce started early for Katie Spain. She grew up on a dairy farm in South Australia before working in journalism in Europe. These days, she writes about wine. For her efforts, she was named Wine Communicators of Australia’s 2021 Wine Communicator of the Year. As our new South Australia state editor, she highlights some of the best places to explore in Adelaide and beyond. “I’m a farm girl at heart. Start in the city, then hit the regions and meet the growers.”
