:: ABOUT US
Wine Culture opened its doors in May 2006 with a view in supporting and stocking many of Australia's and the world's most splendid boutique wineries. Our distinctive and eclectic selection reflects the passion we have for fine wines. We consistently support the notion that wines are individual entities, not mere commodities.
Among our guiding principles is our desire to seek out the most genuine and interesting wines available, wines manifesting real character and sense of place. And because we fervently believe that wine should be easily accessible and not overly mysterious, we stock both the humble, and the great. Along with personal service, we offer our customers so much eclecticism and so much quality,
Here at Wine Culture we strive to nurture the connections between region and variety, vineyard and winemaker and consumer and service. Come in, say hello and see what we're all about. We'd love to meet you!
Cheers

Retailing wines in one form or another has been my crust for near on thirty years now. Having been introduced to the wine industry through my working in restaurants and five star hotels in New Zealand.
On arriving in Australia in 1984 it was not long before I was managing hotels for Tooth & Co, of course the hotels I managed always seemed to have a great selection of wines available.
In 1995, my passion for wines still on the increase, I decided to make a career change of sorts and move more into the retailing side of things. Taking up a position with Theo's Liquor as their Bondi Beach store manager, with outstanding success I might add. This success took me to managing their flagship store in Neutral Bay and then onto their Fines Wines manager, a position I held for 5 years. Ex-shoppers of Theo's and Crown of the Hill stores will be aware that there was always something different at the 16 stores I ranged for, not always your run of the mill wines. On the most part these rare, vintaged and cult wines had my finger prints all over them.
After Coles purchased Theos it was time to move on and what better thing to do than open my own shop specialising in what I did best at Theo's and Crown of the Hills. Fine Wines!!!
Cheers
