“I have been fortunate to work with Ben in not one, but two very formative roles in my career, and can say that he has played an important part in developing my confidence, professional aptitudes and curiosity about the business and drinks world. Ben leads with honesty, care for the people he works with and passion for the industry. I am continuously impressed by all he as achieved to date, and sure there is a lot more to come. Importantly, Ben will always be one of my top go-tos for any wine question or recommendation :)”
