During the late 80’s/90’s I used to regularly travel down to Provence on vacation, stopping off en-route in Burgundy. I can still recall my first memorable encounters with some wonderful Meursaults! To this day, Burgundy remains a great passion of mine.

About 8 years ago my partner Vicky and I decided on a lifestyle change (as you do) and we moved from Cambridge to the wilds of Lincolnshire. We bought a pub/restaurant just outside Lincoln. Vicky does the cooking with her team of Chefs and I am involved in all aspects of wine. I completed my Wine Diploma in 2003.

We formed a wine merchants business two years ago (D’Vine Wines) and we have a shop out the back. We have been very fortunate to have had the support and guidance over the years of renowned MW Derek Smedley.

I also teach wine classes every week at The Farmers Arms and do regular tastings and themed Food and Wine nights.

It's great to have both a Restaurant and a Wine Merchants as most people love food and wine and so we are able to satisfy two passions at the same time!!
