James was in one of the great wine cities in the world, San Francisco, on March 2 for the inaugural James Suckling Great Wines World San Francisco 2025, where he hosted 2,800 wine lovers and wine trade members to the Fort Mason Center of the Gateway Pavilion for a celebration (and tasting!) of some of the world's greatest wines. "It brings all of us together, like today, and that's the message about wine that America needs to know and the rest of the world," James told the crowd, while also thanking the 135 producers who made it to the gathering from all across the globe to present all their latest offerings.
