Find the right wines every time

Hi! I’m Jonathan, the wine list guy.

I’ve been passionate about wine since I first started drinking it, and while I’ve never worked in the trade I’m qualified to WSET Level 3, and last year won the Irish Times Amateur Sommelier competition.

Because of my knowledge and enthusiasm, my friends and colleagues always pass me the wine list in the restaurant - hence the name!

I’m here to make your personal and corporate wine experiences better, through education, events, wine trips, or even helping you build or grow your wine collection.

Follow me on Instagram for current wine list recommendations and other wine related posts from Dublin and my travels.

Wine advice and experiences

Cellar consultations

I invested in a Eurocave over ten years ago, and since then have been building my wine collection. I’ll help you plan and acquire your dream wine collection, curated to your tastes and budget.

I’ve also been investing in Bordeaux En Primeur since 2015, and can provide advice to understand and benefit from this unique wine buying & investment system.

Bespoke wine tours

I’ve spent many holidays in some of the great wine regions of Europe and beyond, getting to know the best places to stay, eat and drink. Let me advise, plan and accompany you to your favourite wine region, helping you find your favourite wines, restaurants, hotels and experiences.

Cycle & Wine trips can also be designed, with your luggage transferred ahead each day.
