Allen Meadows

Allen Meadows is a American wine critic and publisher of the Burghound.com quarterly newsletter and website.Cite web|last= Robinson |first= Jancis, jancisrobinson.com | url= http://www.jancisrobinson.com/articles/directorypubs |title= publications and websites | date= February 7, 2006] A financial executive and private wine collector until a profile published in "Wine Spectator" in 1997 led him to decide to follow his passion for wine. By 2000 Meadows had left banking and launched the Burghound.com site which offers subscribers newsletters with reviews of Burgundy wine and California and Oregon Pinot Noir wines.cite web|last= Steinberger |first= Mike, "Financial Times" |title= New voice on the grapevine |url=http://www.ft.com/cms/s/92d94ba6-24e4-11d8-81c6-08209b00dd01,id=030808004410,print=yes.html |date=August 8, 2003 ]

Within relatively short time following its launch, and despite a relatively high cost of subscription, the service came to be viewed by many as "the definitive word on matters Burgundian",cite web|last= Kramer |first= Matt, "New York Sun" |title= Wine for Right Now |url= http://www.nysun.com/food-drink/wine-for-right-now/46039/ |date= January 3, 2007 ] and Meadows "a leading Burgundy critic".cite web|last= Asimov |first= Eric, "The New York Times": The Pour |title= Ancient Messages, Hidden in a Dusty Bottle From Long Ago |url= http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/03/dining/03pour.html |date= January 3, 2007 ]

Among the reasons cited for the rapid success of Burghound.com are that Meadows already held a strong online discussion-group reputation, and that Robert Parker had ceased to cover Burgundy for "The Wine Advocate" in 1996, and delegated coverage of the region to Pierre Rovani with limited success, providing an opening for Meadows.cite web|last= Steinberger |first= Mike, "The World of Fine Wine" |title= Everyone a Critic. The Future of Wine Writing |url= http://www.finewinemag.com/docs/SteinbergerWineWriting.pdf |date= March, 2008 ] As Parker already had strained relations with the Burgundy wine community, wine critics of global coverage such as Stephen Tanzer and Clive Coates were percieved to dominate the field. It has been suggested that the Burghound coverage of the 2005 vintage of Burgundy did as much to Meadows' reputation as 1982 Bordeaux did for Robert Parker.
