Winefriend by David Way
Writing about the wines of Piemonte, Italy and France
Welcome to Winefriend
Welcome to Winefriend, a website devoted to the wines of Piemonte, Italy and beyond. I’m David Way, wine writer and educator based in London and Hampshire in the UK. The following pages are my thoughts, experiences, and learnings as I’ve travelled far and wide to explore the world of wine to its fullest.
I’d love you to join me on my journey through these wonderful countries and regions and share my enjoyment of their fabulous wines. My current focus is Piemonte but this website covers many regions around the world.
I am delighted to inform you that my book, The Wines of Piemonte, has been honoured in the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) 2024 book awards. The full list of winners can be found here. Of course, the book would not have been possible without the support of more than 200 producers profiled in it and their producer associations, for which I am most grateful. I am very pleased that this collaborative work has now been recognised by the highest authority in the world of wine. You can buy the book here.

Back in Hampshire Janet and I run a friendly wine group which explores the world of wine: famous and less well-known regions, wine styles, grape varieties and more. We typically have one tasting and one fine wine supper each month, all at a reasonable price. You can see the current programme here. Newcomers are always welcome. If you are interested email me.
