Randall Pollard

 

Randall Pollard has been an independent fine-wine merchant for 20 years. He is an importer, merchant and retailer who regularly visits wine regions and producers. Randall gained a passion for wine whilst working in fine restaurants [back in the days when he had to cook Crêpe Suzette at the table and wear a bow-tie! After studying wine production and marketing at Roseworthy he went on to work with Crittendens, Liquorland and Bannockburn Cellars before starting Randall’s in 1999. He has worked a few vintages, tinkered with his own wines and done a lot of show judging over the years. He travels to France for tasting purposes every year.

Braden has quickly developed a love of aromatic white varietals and local Pinot’s.

Shirlene MorlandShirlene Morland

After managing a Vineyard and Cellar Door for ten years, Shirl decided it was much more fun dealing with the end product as opposed to the “hard yards” of a vineyard. Shirl loves anything Shiraz, and can steer even the fussiest wine connoisseur in the right direction.

Felix RileyFelix Riley

Store Manager

 

Since an epiphany over a 1996 Maglieri Shiraz of "Wow, I like wine!" many years ago, Felix's largely self taught enthusiasm has only continued to grow. A stint in Scotland spawned a passion for malt whisky and kilt wearing, with wine experience rounded out over five years at one of the few leading independent merchants in Adelaide.

 

 

Hugh BurtonHugh Burton

 

Hugh has worked in many cellar doors and restaurants picking up a Bachelor of Wine Marketing along the way. He cannot go past anything that has Riesling on the front label or Bandol and can never say no hefeweizen beer after a two year stint in Berlin, Germany.
