OVERHAUL
We are overhauling our web list.
In the meantime the buttons to the left will give you some blurb about who we
work with. The button marked download
list pdf will give you a pdf of
our current list, which we hope to update monthly.
Over the coming months we aim
to refine this part of the site.
MEET THE STAFF
David Motion continues to juggle his parallel careers in Wine and
Music. Pop Record Producer in the 80s, Composer for film, tv and commercials in
the 90s, David liked The Winery so much, he bought the shop in 1996. He has
also recently released new CDs in Electronica and Classical genres. Find out more
on DavidÕs Music site: www.davidmotion.com
Travelling extensively searching for new
wines, he also regularly appears in interviews talking about New Wave German
wines and Biodynamic wine and the Lunar Calendar. david@thewineryuk.com
Richard de Fleury went to New Zealand 12 years ago and came back with a
Kiwi accent and a Kiwi wife. The accent has since modified. You may have
noticed a tightening-up of grammar and punctuation in The WineryÕs written
output. As well as selling European wine to sceptical locals, Richard did a
stint as a Teacher of English and Drama - the perfect qualifications for Shop
Manager. richard@thewineryuk.com
It was Love,ÒIl AmoreÓ, that
brought Giorgio Parrino to England
from his home village south of Palermo in Sicily. We notice, coincidentally,
that most of the young men of the village are now living in south London.
Although his father makes wine, Giorgio is quite clear that it's nothing we'd
want to drink. No disrespect meant to his father, of course. Giorgio should
know what good wine is, as he studied winemaking and viticulture in some
leading estates in Sicily and Puglia. giorgio@thewineryuk.com
Rob Lay rob@thewineryuk.com YouÕll bump into Rob at weekends or at our monthly
tastings.

Alex is with us until end of September, when he starts at Plumpton, the top

his bike with no brakes.

college in Germany, where she is studying International Wine Business.
The Winery - We actually go
