: After school, a spell at one of the popular high street wine shops was followed by the vendange in Margaux in the illustrious 1982 vintage. Returning to London, I ran a boutique wine shop for 18 months before my big career break in 1985 when I joined a proper Wine Merchant in The City. In 1990, I set up Jascots Wine Merchants and here I am 20 years later with a fabulous team of dedicated individuals more or less doing the same thing, finding great wines at fair prices and providing them with an emphasis on first class service.

Email: nadia@jascots.co.uk
Telephone: 020 8965 2000

After graduating with a degree in English Literature, she promptly set out for life in the vines and to reconnect with her Italian roots. She spent two months working for a producer in Piedmont and from the cantina, to the lab and the bottling plant, she took in all aspects of the process from grape to glass.

Email: mathew@jascots.co.uk
Telephone: 020 8965 2000

A throwaway job offer by one of the guest speakers, Tony Laithwaite, led to a spell at Direct Wines on graduating. After honing his product knowledge at Oddbins, Mat moved on to the sales desk at Les Caves de Pyrene, before packing it all in to go travelling. Thinking he was just playing hard ball, Les Caves de Pyrene promoted him to Purchasing Manager on his return to the UK. After three years there, Mat abandoned wine and did a five year stint as a supply chain specialist for an American Biotechnology firm; the appeal of drinking at work proved too much to resist though, hence his arrival at Jascots.
