| I AM: Greg Richardson, Key Accounts Manager On Premise Groups for Joval Wines (Nat. Exec & NSW Committees) |
| I BECAME A COMMITTEE MEMBER TO: I felt incredibly fortunate to be invited to become a Sommelier’s Australia committee member many years ago. I saw this as my opportunity to give something back to the profession and the people that had inspired me to follow my passion for wine. |
| MY BACKGROUND IS: I grew up in Sydney and drank wine with my parents at home, but it wasn’t until I travelled to the UK in my 20’s and began working in restaurants and hotels that I discovered the amazing wines of Europe for the first time. The diversity and history of these wines and the community that surrounded them ignited a desire to learn and discover and share my enthusiasm. |
| ONE THING PEOPLE MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT ME IS… I am a qualified Rescue and Recovery certified scuba diver! |
| THE MOTTO I LIVE BY IS: Enjoy and appreciate every day, nobody knows when their time will be up; try to go to bed having experienced or learnt something you didn’t know when you woke up. |
| MY ROLE MODEL IS: The Rock. |
| THE PERFECT MEAL WOULD BE: I’m a sucker for Beaujolais, light crunchy reds from Mt Etna and anything from the Jura, preferably shared with friends and charcuterie but also happy with my own company and these! |
