Jamie Goode

Jamie Goode is a London-based wine writer, blogger, lecturer, and judge who approaches wine with a scientific lens. Holding a PhD in plant biology, he transitioned from a science editor role to become an influential figure in the global wine community. In 1999, he launched WineAnorak.com, a website featuring in-depth articles, wine reviews, and producer profiles. As an early adopter of blogging in 2001, he established WineAnorak.com as a key online platform, setting his approach apart from critics rooted in traditional print. Beyond his website, Goode contributes to publications such as *The World of Fine Wine*, *Meininger's Wine Business International*, *Noble Rot*, *Wine & Spirits*, *VinePair*, and *Drinks International*. He also served for nineteen years as the wine columnist for *The Sunday Express*. His books, including *The Science of Wine: From Vine to Glass*, *Authentic Wine*, *I Taste Red: The Science of Tasting Wine*, and *Flawless: Understanding Faults in Wine*, explore the scientific aspects of wine. As a speaker, lecturer, and wine judge, Dr. Goode co-chairs the International Wine Challenge and regularly judges competitions like the National Wine Awards of Canada and the Top 10 Chenin Blanc competition in South Africa. His professional philosophy emphasizes authenticity, interest, and the shared experience of wine.
