About me
and my team
I’ve spent my whole working life in wine, from wine making to running a flagship city wine merchant and now this - events, buying and selling wine and promoting good wine to everyone who fancies it …. My family were the first English family to buy a Chateau in Bordeaux in 1875, Chateau Loudenne, and if you cut me I think I’d bleed wine ….. in a good way of course.
We are a small and dynamic team of three. I personally buy every wine that we list. Freddie, my son, runs all our marketing and promotion and Charlotte (Charlie) is in charge of all our admin - full time and based in Capetown.

Fred is my son but, much more importantly, he’s the man behind the camera. He’s has been instrumental in building our following and is the font of many a fun idea to make our events and communication as brilliant as they can be.

I’ve spent my whole working life in wine, from wine making to running a flagship city wine merchant and now this - events, wine trading and promoting good wine to everyone who’ll listen …. My family were the first English family to buy a Chateau in Bordeaux in 1875, Chateau Loudenne, and if you cut me I think I’d bleed wine ….. in a good way of course.
We are a small and dynamic team of four. I taste and approve every wine that we list and get too involved in most things I shouldn’t meddle in. Lucy, Freddie and Charlie are the other three band members who are all completely brilliant.
