WINE LINKS
The pick of the
wine websites
Winesearcher
is a brilliant resource that allows you to search for a particular
wine through the lists of thousands of merchants worldwide. There's a
pay version that's worth the small premium.
- Able
Grape: dedicated wine search engine. Great resource.
- Tom Cannavan's wine-pages.com:
a long-standing UK-based site hosting an active wine discussion forum.
- Jancis
Robinson is increasingly focusing her attention on her impressive
website. With a pay-to-view section, Purple pages, but there's enough
free stuff to make this worth visiting.
- Robin Garr's wine
lover's page is a large US-based wine site with varied content,
but I go there for the excellent Wine
Lovers Discussion Group.
- www.eRobertParker.com
is a pay site which contains an archive of Robert Parker's tasting
notes and ratings. Parker is undoubtedly the world's most influential
fine wine critic. It's also the new home of Mark Squires' bulletin
board.
- www.finewinemag.com
is the online home of the brilliant World of Fine Wine
magazine. You should be subscribing to it.
- www.grape.co.za
is the best way of keeping up with what's going on in the South
African wine scene.
- South Africa's groundbreaking top 100
wine competition: www.top100sawines.com
- Chris Kissack's site, the winedoctor
is regularly updated and well written. UK-based.
- www.nanson.ch
is the online presence of Burgundy nut Bill Nanson, and ex-pat Brit
now working in Basle. Useful and well put together. Bill also
authors the superb burgundy
report.
- Fiona Beckett is a food and wine
journalist with her own website devoted to matching the two: www.matchingfoodandwine.com.
- Neal Martin's www.wine-journal.com
was a great site - so much so that Neal was hired by Robert Parker as
a wine critic at large, and so this site will continue only as part of
Parker's subscription website. Neal has recently re-launched his diary
of a winetaster with free access.
- www.flavourpress.com
is my nascent wine book publishing venture.
- www.wine-science.com
a site designed to complement my Wine Science book.
- www.decanter.com
is UK magazine Decanter's website. Editor Adam Lechmere has developed
it into probably the world's best site for wine news.
- University
of California Press publishers of my Wine Science book in the USA.
- Wine
Business International is a trade title launched in September
2006.
- www.belmaati.com
is musician and serious wine nut Joe Belmaati's growing community of
fine wine lovers.
- www.finewinediary.com
contains the collected tasting notes of British-based wine-loving
brothers Richard and Toby Bailey. It represents an extensive,
searchable collection of fine wine notes. The UK's answer to Frasier
and Niles?
- www.onwine.com.au
is well-known Aussie wine critic Jeremy Oliver's site
- The
Cephas photolibrary contains Mick Rock's excellent wine
photographs.
- UK drinks writer Jim Budd has put
together an impressive resource detailing the rogues and swindlers who
encourage people to invest in drinks, at www.investdrinks.org.
- The
Pinotage Club, a site devoted to this South African varietal, is
certainly aiming at a niche market! It is an excellent site and well
worth a visit.
- www.awri.com.au
is home of the excellent Australian Wine Research Institute
- Another important wine science site is
the UC Davis department of
Viticulture and Enology
- www.drvino.net
Tyler Colman's wine blog is one of the best
