Juel Mahoney, writing on wine, place and the senses
I’m a wine writer who spent years in London’s fine wine trade, at Jeroboams in Holland Park, Bibendum and Bottle Apostle, and I hold the WSET Diploma. From 2007 to 2022 I wrote Wine Woman & Song, which was included in features on wine bloggers in The Guardian, the Financial Times, The Telegraph and Vogue UK, listed among Feedspot’s best UK wine blogs and nominated for Fortnum & Mason’s best wine and food blog. The blog is no longer active, and this site is its archive. More about me.

Place
Regions, vineyards and the cities around them, from Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne to Sicily, Georgia and Lebanon.
People
Winemakers, merchants, critics and the occasional stranger with a story, including Len Evans, Lalou Bize-Leroy and Didier Dagueneau.
Palate
Taste, smell and the pleasures of the table, from Dom Pérignon vintages to perfume, and the year I lost my sense of smell.
