Wine Detective Posted by Andrew Barrow in News and Comments, 12:56pm 27/08/2007.  It's Bank Holiday and, to be truthful, I don't really want to be here; but Mr C bribed me with two days off if I 'popped in'. Good thing I did really as the phone hasn't stopped ringing since I got here.
Orders, stock inquiries, a nice chat with a gent about Ice Wine and just a few moments ago a nice chat with a lovely sounding lady.
She was after a few bottles of Cullen Semillon-Sauvignon and a top-up of TMV White. All of which were in stock. Her name rang a bell - Sarah Ahmed.
After the call ended I suddenly remembered - The Wine Detective!
"Having practised as a solicitor for 12 years, I started off my wine career with multi-award winning wine merchants Oddbins in 2000. I’ve since literally steeped myself in wine knowledge and struck out on my own in 2005 as The Wine Detective to present tastings and write about wine. I regularly write for specialist wine magazines including The World of Fine Wine, Harpers (the Wine and Spirit Weekly) and Wine & Spirit and have contributed to the wine publications The World Atlas of Wine, Hugh Johnson's Pocket Wine Book and Oz Clarke's Pocket Wine Book.
Hands on experience includes working at wineries in Spain (Bodegas Torres), South Africa (Boekenhoutskloof) and Australia (Cullen) [which explains part of the order!] and an introduction to winemaking course at Plumpton College, Sussex. "
We don't normally give out customers names, (don't worry Mr Peters, your secret love is safe with us), but Sarah is widely acclaimed as a great wine tasting host (the fact she is recommending our wines is another bonus) so I hope she doesn't mind the mention and a little publicity!^ Back to top
