Rosie
Rosie has worked in the wine trade for 10 years, a decision made following a year spent in Bordeaux, where any hopes of becoming a lawyer were quickly replaced with a passion for wine. Following a brief stint in retail, Rosie decided to pursue a career in the communications side of the industry and joined Bristol based drinks PR agency Proven Communication where she worked on accounts such as Dom Perignon, Veuve Cliquot and Casa Silva. Rosie has since then worked in London as a Marketing and Brand Manager for Alliance Wine and Armit Wines respectively. Now based in France on the Côte d’Azur, Rosie is currently working for Eviva whilst studying for her Master of Wine.
