JOHN - The blond one!

Loves drinking whatever’s open, hates, well nothing really. Before opening the Vineyard John managed wine bars and restaurants, but decided that too many late nights weren’t good for his complexion and so came to Dorking to open a retail shop. Enjoys meeting customers and talking about anything…..no wine, wine!

LESLEY - The girl!

Loves wine, and thinks the saying “life is too short to drink bad wine” just about sums it all up. Lesley joined the Vineyard from the distributor side of the wine business. Lesley is the organiser of the team. If anything needs organising Lesley is the one to do it, even if things don’t need organising she does it anyway.

PHIL - The grumpy one!

Loves Amarone, hates everything that isn’t over 15% alcohol! Before joining the Vineyard Phil worked in banking and then computers. He also teaches Wine Appreciation classes for Surrey County Council. Phil does the figures, but hasn’t got one! He has more spreadsheets & graphs on the system than we know what to do with.

DAVID - The new one!

Loves interesting and unusual wines, hates cheap and nasty reds. David is the newest member of our team. He joins from a small shop near Kingswood, but previously he was a floor manager at the Dining Room in Reigate. David is young and eager to learn and is looking forward to meeting all our customers.
