James Halliday: 50 Years of Great Wine Dinners

We are raising a very special glass today to our esteemed Tutorial Patron, James Halliday AM, on the release of his incredible new book, James Halliday: 50 Years of Great Wine Dinners.

Since the 1970s, James has been at the very heart of the global wine conversation, and this book serves as a remarkable time capsule of that journey. It features his original tasting notes from roughly 2,200 wines sampled over five decades of extraordinary dinners, ranging from intimate gatherings to the grandest celebrations.

What makes this collection truly special is the rare perspective James provides as he reflects on his earlier judgments from the present day. With his signature insight and humour, he invites us to share in his 50-year journey of discovery, offering a front-row seat to the evolution of his extraordinary life in wine.

On behalf of the Len Evans Tutorial, we congratulate James on documenting this monumental legacy. It is a vital piece of history and an essential addition to the library of any wine lover, student, or professional.
