This is the unofficial launch of CampbellMattinson.com as an online wine magazine. This website is about the story of wine, the stories of wine, the best wines, and the best value. It is free. It will place emphasis on words and images and people and wine, and on the land from which it all grows. This site will not sell wine.

I’ve worked for James Halliday on and off for the past 13 years. I’ve been chief editor of the Halliday Wine Companion for the past two years. I’ve worked at The Winefront since 2002. The 2025 edition of the Halliday Wine Companion is the first edition since James Halliday announced his retirement, and the last that I’ll work on as either its chief editor, or as a member of the Halliday tasting team.

CampbellMattinson.com is a natural complement to The Winefront site.

If you think that you might like to advertise on this site, I’d suggest that now is the best time to get in.
