  • OBC Portfolio Review Summary
    Updated June 28, 2021 PORTFOLIO REVIEW SUMMARY AUSTRALIA d’Arenberg - McLaren Vale, South Australia Chester Osborn d’Arenberg is one of the undisputed kings of Australian Shiraz and other Rhone varieties that have historically defi ned the region. A century on, under the stewardship of fourth generation winemaker Chester Osborn, in terms of winemaking, not much has changed—all the wines are basket-pressed, the reds foot-trodden during fermentation; everything is done in small batches, leading to an impressive array of bottlings every year. From the Stump Jumps through to the highly-regarded Icons, these wines offer value, individuality and a true taste of McLaren Vale.

  • James Suckling Biography
    James Suckling Biography James Suckling is one of today’s leading wine critics, whose views are read and respected by wine lovers, serious wine collectors, and the wine trade worldwide. He is currently the wine editor for Asia Tatler and its nine luxury magazines in the region, including Hong Kong Tatler, China Tatler, Singapore Tatler, and Thailand Tatler. However, most of his time is spent working for his own website, JamesSuckling.com, as well as promoting his 100 Points wine glass with Lalique, the famous French crystal house. Suckling spent nearly 30 years as Senior Editor and European Bureau Chief of The Wine Spectator, and as European Editor of Cigar Aficionado. On his departure from the magazines, Forbes called the Los Angeles-born writer “one of the world’s most powerful wine critics.” In late 2010, Suckling launched JamesSuckling.com, a site that evolved from him seeing a need for wine to be communicated in a more modern way. The site offers subscribers high-definition video content hosted by Suckling that reports on and rates the best wines from around the world, with a focus on Italy and Bordeaux. Video tastings and interviews conducted in vineyards and cellars with winemakers give viewers a firsthand account of the wines, and allow for a more spontaneous style. The site attracts viewers from over 110 countries, with the largest audiences in North America, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, Australia, Italy, and France. His first documentary film, “Cigars: The Heart and Soul of Cuba,” was released in autumn 2011 to much acclaim. It was screened in December 2011 during the 33rd Festival of New Latin American Cinema in Havana, Cuba, and was officially selected for the 15th Annual Sonoma Film Festival in Sonoma, Calif.
