| I am:
Mirko Scanu, Business Development Executive (NSW & ACT) at Penfolds (NSW Committee) |
| I became a Committee member to:
Share my passion for wine and wine education through the association’s initiatives. |
| My background is:
I am from Italy but I have been in Australia for 10 years now. I have worked in various roles in the hospitality industry for many years before moving to the sales world last year. |
| One thing people may not know about me is…
I used to work at Walt Disneyworld in Florida and to answer your next question: No, I was not Mickey Mouse J |
| The motto I live by is: Hakuna Matata: if there is a solution to a problem, don’t worry about it. If there is no solution to a problem, don’t waste your time worrying about it. (cit. Timon, Pumbaa & Dalai Lama) |
| My role model is:
Sarah Andrew is an absolute legend! Her wine passion is great, she’s heavily involved in wine education and most importantly she’s a great human being (the greatest quality of all). |
| The perfect meal is:
What I have every time I go back home on the day I arrive: fresh Buffalo mozzarella, prosciutto and a bottle of Fiano with my family! Followed by nice conversation and a number of “espressos” that should be considered illegal after dinner. |
