Lindsay has a real passion for fine wine borne from over 20 years in and around the wine trade. With a background in hospitality management, she soon realised that her true interests lay with wine! So fast forward the clock and lots of wine exams later, she finds herself in Warwick with her own wine business – perfect! And when not tasting (or drinking!) wine she can be found on the side of a hockey pitch or t
ennis court supporting one of her daughters! One of the favourite periods of her life was when they took the family to live in Spain for five months and her zest for Spanish wine was really developed.
Favourite wines:
Too many to list but Sancerre, Chablis 1er Cru, St Clair Sauvignon Blanc, Amarone, Gigondas, Chateauneuf du Pape and Priorat are all up there!
Favourite vineyards:
Les Cailloux (Rhone), Fourchaume (Burgundy), Montanyans (Penedes) and Mas Blanc (Priorat).
Favourite producers:
Marc Hebrart (Champagne), Andre Brunel (Rhone), Tedeschi (Veneto), Vicchiomaggio (Tuscany), Pinord (Penedes, Cava and Priorat) and Echeverria (Chile).
BARRY POOLE – Finance man/IT consultant and general factotum!
Barry has been (willingly!) drawn into the business over the years and now finds himself in charge of all things technical! He is becoming a more experienced taster (practise makes perfect!) and is a great devils advocate to some of Lindsay’s more quirky choices. Barry’s other area of expertise is with anything financial, especially when it comes to currency exchanges and complicated matters like that! Some of his other talents include packing orders, deliveries, but especially glass washing after tastings! Not bad for a part timer!
Favourite wines:
Chateauneuf du Pape and Priorat. Albarino with good fresh seafood.
Other Interests:
Tennis: Favourite players Rafa Nadal and Kim Clijsters
Football: Having been born and bred in Fulham I have supported them since I was a boy. Someone needs to!! - Fulham is always the first result that I look for on a Saturday afternoon.
