Dave March, CWM
 
Dave March is an eternal student of wine and has the following to say about himself:

"Wine came to me relatively late in life so I am determined to make up for lost time.  What stirred my interest in wine was living near Australia's Hunter Valley for a year. I remember relaxing in the shade with friends at Peterson's winery after a strenuous game of boules whilst demolishing much of their wine and thinking how nice it would be to be more involved with wine.

On return to the UK I took a Saturday job in a local wine shop to learn more. I signed up for wine courses and passed the WSET Diploma.

I love travelling and have spent all my holidays in wine regions, from living in Australia for a year to visiting New Zealand, Spain and all of France and spending four consecutive summers in the Mosel!

A decision had to be made, so here I am, living in this beautiful country, enjoying new friends and loving the wine experience. I became a Cape Wine Master in 2012, my dissertation looked at 'Wine Investment in South Africa'. I'm also writing and lecturing CWA Diploma students about what I love ... it doesn’t get much better."
