James Suckling
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Suckling is an American wine critic, writing for Wine Spectator since 1981.
In 1983 Suckling began blind tasting Bordeaux with Alexis Lichine, and has since 1985 been assigned by Wine Spectator to Europe, reviewing Bordeaux wine and Italian wine for the publication.
Suckling featured in Jonathan Nossiter's film Mondovino, by some accounts in an unflattering light, as he was shown near a Pinocchio sign[1] and seeming to state he has awarded a wine 90 points because it was produced by his landlord, the winemaker Salvatore Ferragamo.[2][3]
