Par's passion for wine started when he was working in the service industry in his youth and has since been very fortunate to be able to make a living out of his passion. Over the last 12 years, Par has been working in the international arena as an Export Manager with companies such as The Hess Family Wine Estates and E&J Gallo. Being part of the Pure Wine Co export team is like home to Par. Australia has always had a very special place in his heart and to be back working with some of the best wines in the country makes makes Par's job really easy. When Par isn't drinking wine, he enjoys bike riding, skiing in the alps and playing golf. Par's portfolio favourite is based on value, with Kaesler's Avignon being his top pick!
