James Halliday is arguably the most influential wine critic in Australia and each year his team of tasters look at about 9000 wines. The 'Companion' is now edited by Tyson Stelzer - and one of the fist things to be initiated this year was to mark harder, and appoint a panel of regional specialists. Western Australia was judged by the experienced & respected wine writer Erin Larkin.
