Kevin Cummins

Kevin started working in wine retailing in the 1980s, and acquired an encyclopedical knowledge of the viticultural world. With his first pay packet, he bought two bottles – a Macon Villages and a Chianti – and that was the beginning of his adventure and education, progressing to WSET diploma level. A much-travelled gastronaut, Kevin has too many favourite regions to mention just one, and is always excited to find a new varietal or region, or to see a traditional area undergoing a renaissance.

Sean Roe

Sean has owned a pub in the Loire Valley (with an extensive list of local producers), an export business in the Languedoc and a caviste-bar in Berlin. Now I concentrate on offering wine-tasting events (often paired with art, music and regional delicacies), and I calculate that I have prepared, organised and hosted around 250 of them in Berlin, Paris, London and Dublin. I have the WSET level 3 award, have sat on wine-show juries and of course visited dozens of wineries in most of the traditional regions as well as Tenerife, Luxemburg, Colombia, and England!

David Baldwin

From a childhood in Australia’s famous cool climate region, Yarra Valley, David studied winemaking at the renowned Roseworthy College. There followed stints making wine across Europe, and now David runs a successful business selling Italian wine to the world. David has an all-encompassing knowledge of the trade. Most importantly, he has an exceptional understanding of consumers – knowing both the trends and how to move interest beyond the familiar.
