I'm new...

Hi Tabby
I do hang around here when I can, but I've been pretty busy of late (and too embarrassed to apologise to Bucko for not looking him up as promised when I passed through Seattle recently). You've got the gist of what I do from others above, ie., more books than articles. I note that you read WINE magazine. I had a regular column in WINE called 'Fizz File' for seven years. It came to an end when I called the publisher a wimp! I write occasionally for Decanter and I'm the only non-French regular contributor to La Revue du Champagne, but my life is so bound by longterm book research that I cannot involve my in freelance activities unless they are scheduled in advance.
Enough of me. You originally asked about Brits on the Wine Board. Well, there's also JoeSchmoe, who is a buyer at Waitrose and currently awaiting his MW results, not to mention being a truly nice guy. But Brits or no Brits, I can tell you that I've surfed around and this is the best wine forum on the Internet. Another excellent one is Wine Lovers, but the Wine Board tends to attract a more irreverent bunch, which suits me. As for any other wine forums, forget it. Hope you stick around as much as I would like to.
