Randall Pollard - Proprietor

 

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.

Shirlene 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.
