Praise for Steven Spurrier by esteemed peers:
Hugh Johnson OBE, the world's best-selling wine author & past Decanter Man of the Year: “Steven is a pillar of opinion who everyone respects... is more about communicating the pleasure of wine than selling it.”
Jancis Robinson OBE MW, past Decanter Man of the Year: "He lit the flame for so many of today’s famous luminaries."
Paul Draper, CA wine icon, Ridge & past Decanter Man of the Year: "A most deserved honor for this soft-spoken, gentleman. Steven, as a champion of the world’s established wine, is often more interested in introducing us to the less well-known regions and their wines. Most importantly, in his tasting, he maintains a firm sense of what is fine wine. Bravo Steven."
Véronique Sanders, Château Haut-Bailly, Pessac-Léognan: "Steven is without a doubt one of the most influential wine professionals of our time."
Brian Croser, Australian Winemaker & past Decanter Man of the Year: "There are few more recognizable figures in the world of fine wine than Steven."
