Venue: | GPE |
The committee of the Silver Street Group invite Silver Street Group members to a wine tasting around the theme: Is making wine like an elite sport?
Simon Baile, Managing Director, Excellar Wine will be talking to you about why he thinks it might be.
Simon has been in The Wine Trade since birth, and was largely weaned on wine courtesy of his father who was a Master of Wine.
He spent his formative years, from the age of 13 onwards, working in various branches of Oddbins, the then family firm. Simon spent his first few years in the wine trade after University garnering experience in wine retail and wholesale, wine importing and also a short stint in the distilleries of Scotland.
During this time his passion for small family wineries from around the world grew. Having spent much time travelling through the vineyards of Europe, Simon has had the happy experience of eating and drinking plenty of home made produce, both food and wine. Heavily influenced by his father, Nick Baile MW, his business has always concerned itself with the democratisation of wine, seeking out great wines at affordable prices, so more and more people can enjoy them. https://www.excellar.co.uk/
