There's only one Javier Hidalgo!! And he is not praising Pancho Campo!

Is there more than one Javier Hidalgo in the wine trade or was this a dirty trick?

Following Pancho Campo resigning his MW, Rupert Millar wrote a news item for The Drinks Business on 3rd May 2012. The first comment posted (see below) was very supportive of Campo and was signed by a 'Javier Hidalgo'. Several of us, including myself assumed that this was Javier Hidalgo of Bodegas Hidalgo La Gitana, the producer of fine Manzanilla in Sanlúcar de Barrameda.

That is terrible news for the IMW. I hope Campo continues organizing those huge events like Winefuture and bringing people like Al Gore and Kofi Annan to our sometimes boring industry. A change was needed as well as fresh blood but it seems the establishment does not like too much “rock&roll” and innovation. I get the impression that being a former athlete, rock promoter and outspoken with the image of a latin lover did not went down well in certain areas of the industry. Good luck Pancho Campo.'

Six days later Javier Hidalgo of La Gitana posted this comment on the Drinks Business story:

This is Javier Hidalgo, from Bodegas Hidalgo La Gitana, Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
Just to make clear that I have not written any message in this blog or in any other regarding the Campo affair.

Someone has been using my name or there is another javier hidalgo in the wine industry.

I hope that my friends and colleagues in the Wine Trade don’t get confused, especially you, Jim. My feeling about Campo is far away from positioning myself to praise him.'

So is there another Javier Hidalgo or did a Campo supporter assume Javier's identity?  The initial poster has been traced – they have a gmail account and are based in Malaga.  

Perhaps our Malaga friend would care to clear up the confusion...
