These days he’s a leading wine writer who makes his living entirely from writing, judging and educating on wine. He has been assisted in these endeavours by a series of cats: first Smudge, then Flash, and now Max (16) and Georgie (14). A journalist first and wine professional second, he has tertiary qualifications in both fields and has been writing on wine for 30 years. In 2008 he was named Australia’s Wine Communicator of the Year, although the cats reckon they should take most of the credit. He pens a weekly column for the Sydney Morning Herald ‘Good Food’ section and contributes to Huonhooke.com, Gourmet Traveller Wine, Decanter and other publications. He has published 17 books on wine including a biography of Penfolds Grange creator Max Schubert. Along the way he wrote the intro for the first Wine Dogs book, which started it all for his friends Craig and Sue. He’s been a show judge for 26 years and this year will chair four regional shows and represent Australia in the Six Nations Wine Challenge. When he returns from trips, Georgie turns on the big welcome, but Max just yawns as if to say ‘I didn’t even notice you’d stepped out’.
