Andrew Barrow

A member of the prestigious UK based Circle of Wine Writers and WSET Diploma holder I am totally immersed in the world of wine and food. Photography is a keen interest too and use my own images to illustrate the articles across the various sites. Need some shots for your website or publicity material - give me a shout.

A series of wine and food writings appeared on the Guardian Word of Mouth website. Articles also appear on Palate Press Contributed the chapter on Alsace to Wine Opus and an active participant to Project Awesome.

Samples are accepted for independent review. Please email for address details. All wines samples should be accompanied by price and stockist details. Published books and food items are also welcome for impartial review. Spittoon and the email newsletter attract several thousand visitors and readers everyday. A majority of new viewers reach Spittoon through web searches and are searching for a specific wine or type of wine.

Spittoon.biz
http://www.spittoon.biz
This is updated nearly everyday and is the main focus of my writings now that RSS is eclipsing email newsletters. Wine tasting notes and wine news with plenty of links forms the basis of content. Topics such as beer and spirits add to the mix. Food and wine matching comprises a lot of the content.


SpittoonExtra.biz
http://www.spittoonextra.biz
A spin off from Spittoon, SpittoonExtra was created to place the regular blog-events away from the more important wine and drink news and reviews. Food and Photography are the focus on SpittoonExtra often linking in with a wine recommendation on Spittoon. Non-food pictures occasionally appear.


The Foodie List
http://www.theFoodieList.co.uk
The food equivalent of UKWOL but covering both on and off line shops, events and tastings. Books, elusive ingredients, kitchen equipement and the like are all covered. Again this is a jointly compiled blog between myself and John Boutall.
