  • A review of wild Chilean wine, including 103 tasting notes (subscription required)
  • The terrifying spectre of global political unrest, broccoli, and wine (free to read)
  • 45 tasting notes on Austria's indigenous reds (free to read)
  • Another Austrian red as a wine of the week: G & H Heinrich Zweigelt 2015 Burgenland
• My Living France magazine column profiled Pinot Noir
• My Off Licence News column celebrated its 50th instalment by reviewing what has changed since I started it back in 2013
