His story: "My wine journey began in 1998 when I got employed as a runner in one of the top Restaurants back then. Assisting waiters was my job and as a person who is so eager to learn and understand what's going on around me, I starting giving more than what was expected, and at the end of the shift I got some spare change in my pocket and I got to drink leftover wine with my seniors.

However, I moved up the ladder eventually, and my passion for wine became bigger. So that I enrolled in a short wine course called "Let's sell Lobster Project Laduma Wine course". The days of Project Laduma were Before Cape Wine Academy was introduced, so the course carried less weight but had all the basic education for beginners.

As time passed, and my wine knowledge became broader, I joined B L A C C cellar club that took me to most of wine farms in the province, including Solms-Delta where they took us through all the processes: from grapes hanging on the vine to the wine in my glass going into my system.

I am so fortunate and proud to be a member of SASA(South African Sommerliers Association)!

I started to self-develop myself academically and completed WSET Wine and Spirit Courses via heading for top Levels.

Back to my roots:

I was more of a beer drinker, so convincing my friends and family to drink wine was not successful so I decided to go solo.

Wine Is My Life, I drink it, I live it and would like to make a mark and leave a Legacy behind. Even in the time of writing this story I am relaxing to a chilled Glass of Chenin Blanc."
