Summary
Worked in the restaurant industry from the time I went to University.
Wine became is a passion, and I focused on that knowledge and ability to pair wine with food.
Food knowledge was seconded to none in all the restaurants I was employed. Theatre background played a big role in having confidence on the floor and the ability to give the most competent service.
