Jeremy Oliver is one of Australia's foremost wine writers and presenters. He is a widely read and fully independent commentator whose words are published in several countries. In January 2005 he was named the inaugural Wine Writer of the Year by the widely circulated Australian Wine Selector magazine.

Jeremy began writing about wine in 1984 with the release of his first book, Thirst for Knowledge, in the process becoming the world's youngest published wine author. He has since published another fourteen books, plus hundreds of articles all over the world. He has hosted most of the leading wine events in Australia and also works in an ambassadorial capacity for Australian wine in export markets.

His books include the best-selling The Australian Wine Annual (now in its ninth edition), More Thirst for Knowledge and Evans on Earth (a biography of Len Evans). Jeremy is a regular contributor to Gourmet Traveller's Wine Magazine, The Australian Way (Qantas inflight), The Straits Times, Wine & Dine (both Singapore), OLN (UK), Drinks (USA) and a number of other publications. He is also a regular presence on ABC Melbourne Radio.

Jeremy is also in the process of developing some world-leading wine software for consumers, and has also begun to develop what he hopes will become a very significant wine list for The Point Restaurant, Albert Park.

Jeremy Oliver's style is typically unambiguous and to the point. Because he is not associated with any wine producer or distributor, he believes he can say what he wants to… and does. He is also one of the only wine writers in Australia with a formal tertiary training in winemaking and viticulture. He has a Bachelor of Agricultural Science from the University of Melbourne and studied winemaking at Roseworthy College, South Australia. He strongly believes that if you're going to write critically about wine, the least you can do is to learn how to grow and make it.

Jeremy Oliver is actively involved in sport, mainly through his association with The Melbourne Cricket Club plus the 49ers, a social team largely comprising a group of winemakers and musicians who ought to know better. He plays regularly for the MCC's XXIX Club and during 2001-2002 managed to dismiss former star Test batsman Dean Jones for a duck on the MCG, not that he's making a big thing out of it! Jeremy is also the wine consultant to the MCC.

Jeremy still dreams of playing a golf course (any golf course) the way its architect intended and at the age of 44 his mood swings are still closely linked to the fortunes of the Essendon Football Club and the Australian Test Cricket team. His secret fantasy is still to commentate cricket for the BBC. He lives in Melbourne with Jennifer his wife, Benjamin his son, Georgia his dog, Bomber his cat, plus a large and expanding adoptive family of possums.
