Philosophy
Ben’s philosophy on wine is that every wine should tell a story. He says: “When I taste a wine, I want to taste where it’s from, and be captivated by the experience. Wine is an adventure for me – it is enchanting, intriguing and exciting – and all of that should be reflected and celebrated in each glass.”
