“Iwayini yimvakalelo”
UJames Suckling, umgxeki wewayini owaziwayo, wayengazi ukuba iwayini iya kuba yintando yakhe ngexesha lekholeji yakhe; kwiYunivesithi yase-Utah State wafunda isayensi yezopolitiko kwi-Utah State kwaye kwiYunivesithi yaseWisconsin (eMadison) wagxila kubuntatheli.
Enkosi kutata wakhe waba nomdla kwi wayini kwaye wazibandakanya ne Wine Spectator kwaye waqala ukuzibandakanya ekungcamleni okungaboniyo kwe wayini zase Bordeaux no Alexis Lichine, endwendwela iindawo zokuthengisa iwayini e Italy kwaye ehamba e Europe.
Ngomnyaka ka 1985 waqala i-ofisi yaseYurophu ye Wine Spectator wahlala eParis ephonononga zonke iiwayini zaseYurophu, egxile kwiwayini zase Italy, Bordeaux kunye nase Port Wine, epapasha incwadi yakhe yokuqala, Vintage Port. Kwi-2010 wayishiya i-M. Shanken Communications ukuze aqhubele phambili ukuthanda kwakhe kumajelo eendaba, kunye nemicimbi ekhethekileyo yokuthengisa.
Njengelungu le Wine Spectator, i-Suckling incasa umndilili we wayini ezingama 4000 ngonyaka kunye ne 50 pesenti yase Italy. Usana olusondela kwiwayini, “… koko ndikungcamla emlonyeni; Ndifumana ukuxinana kweziqhamo, iitannins, utywala kunye neasidi. Eyona nto ivezayo kukuzingisa kwencasa emlonyeni, incasa yamva...Ifanele ibe luvakalelo, ingabi yinzululwazi. Iwayini emnandi iyavisisana…” (Toscana regina di armonia, Corriere della Sera).

INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- Enkosi kutata wakhe waba nomdla kwi wayini kwaye wazibandakanya ne Wine Spectator kwaye waqala ukuzibandakanya ekungcamleni okungaboniyo kwe wayini zase Bordeaux no Alexis Lichine, endwendwela iindawo zokuthengisa iwayini e Italy kwaye ehamba e Europe.
- In 1985 he started the European office for Wine Spectator and lived in Paris reviewing all European wines, with a focus on the wines of Italy, Bordeaux and Port Wine, publishing his first book, Vintage Port.
- The most revealing element is the persistence of the taste in the mouth, the aftertaste…It should be an emotion, not something scientific.
