WBM February: An Hour with Adrian Santolin

Adrian Santolin was 19 when he met his future wife, Rebecca, at a “dodgy” Griffith nightclub that was actually an RSL Club by day. They went on to get married and have two daughters. But as for the ‘normal’ pathway of buying a home with a white picket fence and living happily ever after… that’s not for them. Four years ago, when it came to choosing between investing their life savings in their own home or in their own wine brand, they chose the latter. They’re renting at Lilydale in the Yarra Valley and, after the year their business has had, they certainly have no regrets about following their dream. The home can wait.

WBM Magazine Description:

WBM – Australia’s Wine Business Magazine, was launched in April 2005 and was quickly embraced by a wine community crying out for original, relevant information. The monthly magazine, the only one dedicated to the wine business, covers winemaking, viticulture, finance and marketing and includes 100 wine reviews by Tyson Stelzer and Mike Bennie. One of the world’s most respected wine industry publications, WBM is read by 18,000 people including key decision makers such as winemakers, CEOs, marketers, viticulturists, brand ambassadors, sommeliers, retailers and restaurateurs.

Our cult e-bulletin The Week That Was stops the Australian wine community every Friday afternoon with its original content, breaking news, gossip and a big dose of irreverence, while our website WBMonline.com.au is the home of breaking wine news.

WBM has pushed the boundaries over the past nine years by focusing on innovation and no-holds-barred commentary, going in to bat for the industry at every opportunity and building loyalty with readers. In February 2012 UK research company Wine Intelligence named the Editor, Anthony Madigan, in an exclusive list of 30 wine industry leaders from around the world who had made “a significant contribution to the global wine business over the past decade”. The judges said: “Anthony produces brilliant, entertaining writing on the subject of wine as only a true Australian can.” This standard of writing along with beautiful images and design underpins every issue of this world-class magazine.
