A wine experience with food pairings

“A wine experience
with food pairings”
My love of wine and the business has seen many great vintages and
positive changes. My career has allowed me to work in some of the
World’s greatest establishments, including; Tower 42, The Dorchester,
The Savoy, The Stafford and now Lutyens. A special highlight of my
career was to judge at the Decanter World Wine Awards. I have also
spent much time travelling to famous vineyards across Europe, the
Americas and Australia. My passion for wine is unending. It is a real
pleasure to have chosen, along with my team, a very special and
eclectic selection for you all to enjoy.
