Jamie Patterson

It was during the summer post graduation, that it dawned on Jamie that wine could be an interesting path down which to tread. 9 years at Majestic in various marketing roles and a WSET diploma followed, with subsequent stints at Gallo Family, where he lead Fine Wine marketing across EMEA; John E. Fells, looking after the Australia and New Zealand Portfolio; and a few years running his own business, specialising in food and wine pairing events and consultancy, which he set up in 2016 after a run to the semi-finals of Masterchef.

In his spare time Jamie plays golf and tennis, follows football and rugby, is passionate about wine, cooking, reading and music and enjoys travelling home to Northern Ireland with his young family and 2 dogs – Mo and Pinot.
