Sam Robertson, Director

Spending most of his early working life in restaurants and bars throughout Australia and Europe, Sam experienced the highs and lows of hospitality work and gained an understanding of operations within the fast-paced industry.

Sam completed a Bachelor of Business which he then took travelling for five years - working, snowboarding, hiking, eating, and drinking his way through New Zealand, Canada, and Central America.

Upon his return, he completed a Masters Degree in Environmental Management.

with a focus on viticultural sustainability.

The opportunity arose to take on an existing agency, and the transition into wine sales proved to be well-suited. Ten years later and Sam is still drinking, selling and enjoying all things wine.

Neil "Brownie" Brown had a fashionable start to his illustrious sales career, honing his expertise at Rundle Tailors in Newcastle, where he cultivated an eye for detail and an appreciation for quality craftsmanship.

Nathan Lange

Nathan’s path to the wine industry is a well-worn one. While taking a break from a career in journalism, he applied to work vintage in South Australia. 10 weeks turned into 4 years and the career break became permanent.
Nathan has worked in various roles in the wine industry, most recently heading up the wine team at the highly regarded Prince of Merewether Hotel and Bottle Shop. He is a wine tragic in the purest sense of the word and when he is not selling it, he is reading about it, talking about it, and of course drinking it.
Nathan is passionate about getting good wine in more people’s glasses and breaking down the barriers that make wine and wine language inaccessible to everyday people.
