About Me – Andrew Graham
At 18 I started working in a small suburban bottleshop, largely because I wanted to buy cheap beer. It was my first year of university, slogging through physics/chemistry, and a liquor shop seemed like fun. I then discovered wine, my uni degree morphed into something completely different and wine/beer took over my life.
Twenty years later and I currently spend my days wearing many (wine) hats as a writer, presenter and marketer.
You might spot my work in the likes of The Retiree, Gourmet Traveller WINE, National Liquor News or as a Lifestyle FOOD channel wine expert.
Crowned the 2009/10 WCA Wine Journalism ‘Young Gun’, I’ve judged in wine shows all over the world and have a Masters in Wine Technology & Viticulture from Melbourne University. I also have a Bachelor of Resource & Environmental Management and went to Copywriting School, purely because I just love studying (and am a masochist).
This site (Australian Wine Review or ozwinereview for short) is dedicated to talking about wine, beer and other good things. Largely focused on Australian wine, but with a healthy dose of tasty vino from NZ, France, Italy, Spain… oh hell, if it’s good, I’m in.
