Victoria escaped a world of academia, driven to drink she says, and has spent the past two decades working in most facets of the wine industry in the UK and Australia. Until recently, Victoria was Head of Wine Operations for St JOHN where she was responsible for blending their own cuvees, working with their winery Boulevard Napoleon in the Minervois and sourcing the wine range for St JOHN’s restaurants, trade and online businesses. Prior to this she established two successful specialist wine importation businesses in London and Melbourne. Currently she is embarking on a new wine bar project in London. Victoria is a judge at selected wine competitions and provides advice to producers for portfolio assessment, brand placement and business strategy.
