Gordon originally trained as an accountant … but then he recovered and became a wine merchant! He experienced a true ‘baptism by fire’ during his training in Bordeaux, tasting from the barrel before breakfast and refining his palate while blind-tasting with some of the great masters there. His passion for wine and thirst for knowledge means that he travels regularly to visit our growers in Europe, many of whom have become firm friends as well as loyal suppliers.

Jerome, like most Frenchmen, is a great lover of good food and great wine.
