Greg Walter has been one of the leading wine journalists in America for the best part of three decades. Starting with the Wine Spectator during its infancy in San Diego in the early 80's, he spent six years as its President, until leaving in 1994 to pursue other consulting and publishing opportunities. Currently, Greg is the author and publisher of The Pinot Report, a newsletter devoted to Pinots from the West Coast. Winner of the coveted James Beard Award for wine journalism, its detailed and personal approach to Pinot Noir makes it a valuable addition to any wine lovers' library.
