Summary:Simon Crookall recalls his first sip of wine Name: Simon Crookall Nationality: English Occupation: chief executive of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra Distinguishing traits: always travels with his own bath plug Where in the world have you been? Italy, Spain, France, Portugal, China, Russia, Australia, Japan, Singapore and Uzbekistan. My work has taken me to Norway, Greece and New York - but just for a day. My very first holiday abroad was to Macon, in France, on a school exchange when I was 12. What I remember most was that it was my first experience of wine - I was very lucky because the family I stayed with had a vineyard in their garden and they produced all the wine for their own consumption.
