Robinson, Jancis. Bespectacled, prolific British wine writer, best known for editing the Oxford Companion to Wine, the most scholarly of wine reference books and one often referred to in Snob shorthand as “Jancis” — e.g., Look it up in Jancis. Blessed with an authentic wit and an assuring sensible tone, which she puts to use in several shorter books, a Financial Times column, a Web site, and sundry British “programmes,” Robinson is also the lust object of several Wine Snob admirers, Jay McInerney among them, who harbor Miss Moneypenny fantasies about her.
