One of Rachael's first ever jobs was pouring wine at a TRWC tasting. Fast forward 20 years and now a partner in the business Rachael looks after all of our marketing and e-commerce. Working her way through her WSET qualifications on the side she is passionate about sustainable wine production, shining a spotlight on minority wine producers and loves hiking or trail running around vineyards in her spare time.

Mark estimates he's swirled, sniffed, slurped and spat over 150,000 samples of wine since starting his career as a trainee wine taster with Victoria Wine back in the 80s. And that's in addition to a healthy amount actually consumed. All in the interest of eeking out the best wines, you understand. His greatest satisfaction is when a Real-Wino says; "Just send us your choice, we know it will be good." Nuff said.

Rita has developed a wine nose by osmosis! Years of preparing Blind Wine Tastings to help Mark through his exams and all those "holidays" to wine regions clearly rubbed-off. In addition, she's got one of the UK's finest noses for spotting a corky wine.

Resident warehouse guard dog and on-the-job sleeper. Honey is an integral part of TRWC team, she hasn't got a great palate but does enjoy chewing pallets, chasing tennis balls and butterflies, and eating carrots from the veg patch.
