The Cynic's Guide to Wine

Auteur

Sunny Hodge completed a degree in Mechanical Engineering before embarking on a career in hospitality. He worked his way up from fast food restaurants to become a founding team member at Paulo de Tarso and Nicholas Jaouën's London restaurant, Margot. His scientific training has always lead him to look for the how and why behind food and wine and he currently runs science-based wine tastings and is developing programs to provide wine education based around science and functionality. Hodge is the founder and owner of two wine bars in south London, Diogenes the Dog and aspen & meursault, for which he was awarded Entrepreneur of the Year at the Southwark Business Awards. Both wine bars showcase unusual and lesser known wines and share a mission to educate customers about wine. Sunny is an annual wine judge for the IWSC awards and has commentated on wine for the Evening Standard, The Times and the Guardian.
