about me
I write a weekly column on wine for The Independent and teach wine in schools for the Leiths School of Food & Wine. ¶ For Decanter Magazine, I chair the Australian panel at their annual World Wine Awards and their Wine Retailer Awards panel. ¶ Publications I write for include Decanter and The World of Fine Wine and I contribute on wine investment and auctions to Jancis Robinson’s Oxford Companion to Wine.
The Wine GangIn November 2008, four wine writers and I launched www.thewinegang.com. This is an exciting subscription website with a newsletter and 200 new wine notes each month. All for £19.99 a year! We also held our first ever consumer event at Vinopolis. | Also in 2009...On my wine travels, I visited Ribera del Duero and Rueda, Bordeaux for Vinexpo, Croatia, Le Marche in Italy, Rioja and in November I was invited to be the international wine judge at the Adelaide Hills Wine Show |
 | And finallyI live in Southfields, London. I like to cook, eat, drink wines I can't afford and take snaps. After working at Christie’s for a year since Cambridge, my son is now at the Courtauld doing something productive with his life instead of drinking my best bottles. |
