How did you come to love wine?

I was a late starter into the wine world. I went to the UK on the classic antipodean overseas experience and worked with wine in restaurants where we tasted regularly. I then took a leap and completed a Diploma in Winemaking & Viticulture in Gisborne, New Zealand. It was a very hands-on course with a commercial winery and as soon as I stepped into the winery and handled the grapes, I knew I had found my calling.

A wine that changed your life?
