While seeking work experience, George had the opportunity to spend a week working in Tain l'Hermitage. After a few years at uni studying physics, he decided that he would much rather be spending his time with wine so after some time bartending and working in restaurants he joined Bottle Apostle. Wine favourites are northern Rhone, cool climate Pinot Noir and pretty much anything Sicilian.

During an ill-advised stint in Australia Jago fell into bar work and vineyard labour out of necessity but soon found himself fascinated with wine and pursuing a related career back in the UK. He is especially concerned with pairing food and wine and can usually be found deliberating over the perfect match for a dish with customers, colleagues or himself.

Allie started her official wine journey quite recently, but has always been a big lover of cooking and wine, especially thanks to her stepdad being a chef. As a Californian, she has always appreciated big buttery Chardonnay, but has a special love for Riesling, as it’s her dads’ favourite wine. She passed her WSET level 2 in May 2022 and has been delving further into the wine trade ever since. She doesn’t have a favourite wine anymore, as there are too many good ones to choose from!
