wine-pages - an independent site I am publisher of wine-pages.com, one of the world's most popular and longest running wine sites. Though wine-pages is now my full-time occupation, it also remains a passion. I have written about wine in print for many years too: I am columnist for two Scottish magazines (I-On Glasgow and I-On Edinburgh), and write regularly for both consumer and trade wine magazines including World of Fine Wine, Wine & Spirit, Harpers and Off Licence News. My work has also appeared in The Sunday Times, The Independent and Decanter, and I occasionally appear on BBC radio and television. I have written, or contributed to, ten wine books, including The annual Wine Report and Which? Wine Guide.

I am also an experienced international wine judge, having judged some of the word's most prestigious wine competitions on three continents, including Australia, Chile, Argentina, France, the UK and Georgia. In 2004 I launched beer-pages.com and in 2006 whisky-pages.com joined the portfolio.

I have catholic tastes and enjoy all fine wines, especially with good food and good company. What I really love about wine is that it is so endlessly fascinating and constantly re-newing itself. I used to maintain a file of press-clippings, but to be honest the world's press has been so supportive that I could not keep up! I stopped gathering reviews in 2003, but you can visit the archive of reviews and awards.

I hope you enjoy wine-pages.
