Seán

"My name is Seán and my wine expedition began 12 years ago. The magnetism of wine: its history, its respect and reflection of people and place, truly and seductively got its ‘tannins’ within me. The voyage began, much to the despair of my bank account. From the retail floor to the restaurant trade, I have worked and enjoyed the full spectrum of wine sales, customer service of the highest order is my raison d'être. Wine for me merges that most stimulating of mediums; travel, food, geography culture and art. In my spare time I enjoy reading, metal, motorbikes and cooking for many hours. I have recently completed my WSET Diploma in wine, which I am assured will keep me focused, topical and most importantly, tasting wine from every corner of the globe."

Alex

"My name’s Alex. I entered the industry initially part-time while studying for a Master’s Degree in Ecological Management and Conservation Biology. It was in this time that I well and truly caught the ‘wine bug’; enthralled by how the often esoteric environmental processes that I studied were translated, quite tangibly, into the glass – enabling each wine to reveal its own sensorial story. I’ve been with JN Wine for five years and now look after our Fine Wine and En Primeur offerings which involves the constant study of (and occasional travel to) the top winemaking regions of the world, as well as keeping abreast of vintage reports and market performances, endeavours which suit my slightly anoraky nature! I recently completed the WSET Diploma Award in Wine which necessitated the constant research and tasting of wines from all over the world (someone’s got to do it), so feel free to pick my brain on all things viticulture, viniculture and tasting technique.”

Dylan

"My name is Dylan, I am the newest (and youngest) addition to the JN retail team.  I began my journey into the world of wine when I was 18; working part-time at an off license where I worked during my A levels and throughout my university life. I joined JN Wine shortly after graduating and am currently undergoing level 2 WSET. I love encouraging younger wine drinkers like myself to explore the many weird, wonderful and lesser known wine regions across the world."
