Martin Spedding Reflects on James Halliday's Impact on Australian Wine

To James, with love - Halliday Magazine

When James Halliday AM announced his retirement, we were inundated with messages from the wine industry. Over the following seven pages, we've printed as many as space will allow. Cheers to you, James. Thank you for everything.

James has been the epicentre of the Australian wine industry for over 40 years.
His infectious enthusiasm for wine, his writing and storytelling were instrumental in me entering the wine industry over 20 years ago. His contribution to our industry is unparalleled, a true champion of Australian fine wine. On a personal note, I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to spend time with James, tasting wine, sharing stories, and reflecting on the history and progress of our industry. He will be sorely missed, but his writings will continue to be an incredible resource for each new generation of winemakers for decades to come.
