Julian Leidy

Julian, assistant editor, began interning at JancisRobinson.com in 2022, and has managed our annual wine writing competition ever since. His passion for wine was sparked by a bottle of Tesco Nero d’Avola while a first-year at the University of St Andrews. Since then, in addition to reading endlessly about wine, he has worked in wine retail and wine service. He is currently working on a doctorate in medieval history at Oxford, where he is also the captain of the Oxford blind-tasting team. He remains particularly interested in Sicilian wines, as well as the wines of Campania and the Northern Rhône, and he is also an ardent lover of rosé.
