I enjoy sharing my knowledge and as a successful wine professional with over 25 years' experience, also enjoy making incremental improvements that help address quality and efficiency challenges. I like helping wine business improve and grow through mentoring people in Viticulture, Winemaking, Culture and Finance management and improving wine sales via targeted marketing and building confidence in people and their wines.I focus on my key strengths: adding value and improving winemaking and production systems from vineyard to bottle from a quality and efficiency perspective and add focus on developing continuous improvement culture in winemaking and viticulture teamsI offer audits and recommendations of process by variety, red or white, winery or full portfolio reviews with viticulture and winemaking recommendations to match client aspirations in wine quality and qualities. I am also available on a casual basis for vintage classifications, wine assessment or guidance and assistance at the blending bench.Over the past decades, I have led teams collect over 85 trophies and 330 gold medals for Bleasdale and Clients across red, white, sparkling and fortified categories, and have worked with other winemakers assisting in developing their wines and production programs from vineyard to bottle.I remain focused on wine production goals and the wine sector provides a traditional and agricultural yet fashionable medium with which to work. I’m driven to ensure the wines I work with improve and adapt to an ever-changing marketplace, respecting and adhering to traditional wine values and innovating with new projects as requirements change.
