Meet the Man
David Hughes is a Wine Enthusiast who moved from Shipping to Sipping !!
 

David opened his family wine and restaurant in the heart of the City of London where we was formerly a shipbroker.

Now, 25 years later, through the profession and by invitation from vintners, David has explored many of the world’s wine-growing regions.

These experiences enabled him to introduce exciting new and unusual varieties and regions to his eclectic wine lists.

As the Testimonials show, a career offering fine food generated many requests to suggest suitable and interesting wines.

Evening informal wine tastings in the restaurant led to regular invitations to host tastings for clients and friends.

Awarded the Wine & Spirit Education Trust Advanced Certificate (Distinction), David has concentrated on his principal enthusiasm to share his knowledge and pleasure in the world of wine.

David also acts as a consultant to wine bars and restaurants seeking to balance and innovate their wine lists, and has for years advised and supplied clients and individuals with wines for 'that special occasion'.
 

In 1997 David received the honour of Freeman of The City of London

1988 admitted as a Member of The Acadamie du Champagne, Reims

1986 - admitted as a Member of The Cava & Penedes Wine Institution, Penedes-Spain

 
  "David's knowledge of wine and food is only surpassed by his infectious enthusiasm for perfecting the task in hand"
