Knightsbridge Wine Shop

What is the most inspiring experience you had on your journey to becoming a chef?

I was working at a restaurant when a group ordered a massive 6-liter bottle of wine. They could not finish it, so the staff got to share what was left. That was the night I knew I wanted to dedicate my career to wine.

What are your sources of inspiration?

I have traveled tens of thousands of miles visiting some of the world's best winemakers, drawing inspiration from their passion and craftsmanship to fuel my own journey in the world of wine.

What is the greatest lesson you have learnt in or outside the kitchen?

I have realized that patience is like letting a good wine age. Just as a wine develops in complexity over time, the best things in life often need a little patience to reach their full potential.

What is your guilty pleasure in life?

I love kicking back with a movie marathon and a bottle of champagne. It is the perfect way to unwind.

If you could prepare a dinner for any four guests, who would they be?

I could not choose just four! I love nothing more than entertaining family and friends. Everyone is welcome.

What is your favourite Krug food pairing?

I love pairing Krug Grande Cuvée with oysters. The champagne's crispness complements the briny flavors perfectly, creating an exquisite taste experience.

When is your favourite time to enjoy Krug?

Krug Grande Cuvée is my favourite for gatherings with friends and family. It adds a touch of elegance, making any get-together feel special. Honestly, Krug is too good not to share with the ones you love.
