FORMER NEW YORK TIMES JOURNALIST JOHN HOLL ANNOUNCED AS NEW AMERICAN COLUMNIST OF ANDESWINES.COM

 

AndesWines.com is honoured to welcome John Holl as the new American Columnist. For nearly 15 years John Holl has worked as a journalist covering everything from politics to agriculture.

 

The majority of his career was spent at the New York Times where he covered the events of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the New Jersey State House, various political campaigns and a variety of breaking news. A graduate of Seton Hall University, Holl has also covered the U.S. craft brewing industry and written frequently on drinks related issues. In addition to the Times, his work has appeared in Forbes Auto, The Newark Star-Ledger, The Indianapolis Star, Cosmopolitan, Scholastic Administrator, New Jersey Life Magazine and several other publications.

 

"When a person brings the right ingredients together with the proper technique, it is likely something wonderful will be created. This is particularly true in the beverage industry where a well made drink can excite the senses and transform the spirit," writes Holl in his début letter to readers.

 

"From wine to beer and spirits, a drink does not only have to be a social experience but a personal one as well.  Not everyone has the same tastes or taste buds, so while some might enjoy a smoky single-malt scotch, others would refuse and reach for a glass of merlot."

 

"When it comes to a drink, the only opinion that matters is that of the person holding the glass," said Holl. "I am grateful to Andes Wines for the opportunity to share with you some of the exciting and unique beverages that are being produced in the United States and to introduce American readers to the wonderful wines being produced in Chile."

 

The United States and Chile have a unique and prosperious relationship and the column will attempt to foster better understanding behind the drinks culture of each country.

 

Situated along the west coast of South America, Chile is home to 16.5 million residents. The U.S. State department issues about 65,000 travel visas on an annual basis to Chilean residents wanting to visit the states.

 

Since the U.S.-Chile Free Trade Agreement went into effect on January 1, 2004, U.S.-Chilean trade has increased by 154%. Internal Government of Chile figures show that bilateral trade between the U.S. and Chile has grown over 60% since then. During 2006, Chile imported U.S. $26 billion from the Americas, representing 54% of total imports, followed by Asia at 22%, and

Europe at 16%.

 

Over the coming months Holl's column will consider anything and everything that can be poured into a glass and even the vessels themselves. Nothing is off limits. Readers and beverage companies are encouraged to e-mail Holl and engage in a lively conversation. He may be reached at johnholl@andeswines.com.
