Pancho Campo looks outside wine after ‘disgusting attacks’ (Spain)

Pancho Campo MW of the Wine Academy of Spain is switching his business away from wine trade-only events in part response to the “deeply upsetting” attacks he and his family have suffered in recent months. Campo admitted to Harpers Wine & Spirit he needed to step out of the wine industry’s “limelight”, following the fierce criticism levelled at him from some quarters over the alleged access to Spanish wineries given to US wine critic Jay Miller and the Wine Advocate. The controversy resulted in the Wine Advocate’s Robert Parker conducting a review of Miller and Campo’s business arrangements.
