Top Wine Picks

We want to share our passion for wine with you! Our Team Picks series gives you a glimpse into these unique experiences, alongside some stories, and most importantly, some favourites from the Wine & Earth collection, to give you some inspiration for your next tasting adventure.

This month we're hearing from Rob Edwards: Co-founder and Wine Director of Wine & Earth. Check out Rob's personally curated mixed case here.

 

How I Fell in Love with Wine

“Coming from a finance background, alcohol was usually a way of making it through the week. It was never wine though, except maybe a dodgy oak-chipped Chardonnay at Christmas. However, in 2010 I was fortunate enough to earn a three-month contract in a senior finance role within a fine wine specialist (that ultimately became two years). My first day was a Burgundy En Primeur tasting, and it was a eureka moment. I was blind and then I could see. From that day I knew wine would be my big passion in life, and when I decided to hang up my Abacus, my passion became a profession.”

For someone who started their career in finance, wine was once an afterthought. However, that all changed during a life-altering wine tasting that turned a casual interest into a lifelong passion. That moment of discovery in Burgundy sparked a love for the complexities and stories within every bottle. Wine became not just a beverage, but a calling.

 

Exploring the World Through Wine

“What I love about wine is that it’s a big world out there, and knowledge never ends. You will always continue to taste new wines as the wine world diversifies. My passion has always been not just the wine, but the stories around them. I also believe that fine wine shouldn’t cost the Earth. Therefore, my picks are some of the most unique, small batch, and exclusive wines in our collection that you can afford to drink every day.”

Mixed Wine Case 

If you’re looking for diversity in your glass, my mixed case picks offer a range of styles and regions. From vibrant rosés to robust reds, each bottle is handpicked for its story and quality.
