After starting his wine industry career in the vineyards of the Clare Valley in the 70s, Rob was only the third Australian to pass the rigorous Institute of Masters of Wine exams and become a Master of Wine. After 25 years in the wine industry as an educator, broadcaster, researcher and marketer, Rob bought and redeveloped WineStream, one of Australia’s leading wine industry marketing and media relations companies. Rob frequently judges wine shows around the globe, and appears on radio and television. For ten years, he was a regular guest on of the Australian Broadcasting Company with the ABC. 

Rob contributed research to Sotherby’s Guide to Classic Wines and their Labels, and he authored The Art of Wine from the Vine to the Table. He frequently visits the major wine regions of the world, including those in the United States, and he still believes his favorite wine is always the next one.
