James Suckling

James Suckling

James Suckling is an American wine and cigar critic, writing for "Wine Spectator" since 1981 and for "Cigar Aficionado" since its inception in 1992.

In 1983 Suckling began blind tasting Bordeaux with Alexis Lichine, and has since 1985 been assigned by "Wine Spectator" to Europe, reviewing Bordeaux wine and Italian wine for the publication.

Suckling featured in Jonathan Nossiter's film "Mondovino", by some accounts in an unflattering light, as he was shown near a Pinocchio sign [cite web|last= Morris| first= Wesley, "Boston Globe"|url= http://www.boston.com/movies/display?display=movie&id=7423 | title=Film on winemaking is juicy but cloudy | date= April 4, 2005] and seeming to state he has awarded a wine 90 points because it was produced by his landlord, the winemaker Salvatore Ferragamo.

Suckling is the European Editor for "Cigar Aficionado". He is generally considered the magazine's specialist on Cuba and Cuban cigars.
