The James Halliday
Wine Companion magazine

James Halliday’s Wine Companion magazine takes a fresh, stylish and uniquely approachable take on wine, food and travel. Published six times a year, the magazine features articles by James (who better to explain what to look for in wine than the great man himself?), the most sought-after wine reviews (100 new release tasting notes in every issue), travel features through the great wine regions of the world, plus amazing recipes and wine matches.

Edited by renowned wine writer Campbell Mattinson, James Halliday’s Wine Companion is flush with new voices, new stories and a new look.

  • Current issue - April/May

    Jam-packed with great wine and food ideas, the April/May edition explores tempranillo and pale ales, as well as what makes great wine label design. Editor Campbell Mattinson chats to Vasse Felix winemaker Virginia Willcock and takes a look at the diet wines on the market, while food producer Marion Grasby talks us through her wine highs and lows. Ben Edwards takes us on his tour of Argentina’s Mendoza, chef Adrian Richardson gives us his favourite beef recipes, we break the Barossa Valley down to 25 must-dos and we chat with the experts about matching wines to share plates. And don’t forget our 200 wine tasting notes.
