S2 E12 Dermot Sugrue, Founder Sugrue South Down Wines

I came across the multi award-winning Dermot Sugrue, Founder of Sugrue South Downs Wine thanks to a life-saving gift of his highly-sought after bottle of fizz, The Trouble with Dreams.

Dermot is the UK’s most influential winemaker and has chalked up numerous awards for his work with Nyetimber, Wiston Estate and now his own exciting and much in demand label. Wine expert and author Hugh Johnson has described Dermot’s wines as ’Spectacular. Honestly, England's best.’

I guarantee you will learn a lot from this episode. Not only about English wine but also how much difference a positive mindset makes, the importance of staying true to your vision and how grabbing those opportunities that come your way can really change your path.

We didn’t share chocolate … it was too tempting to share the amazing bottle mentioned below!

My book recommendation: Reflections, Marcus Aurelius
Fizz: Cuvee Dr Brendan O’Regan
Quote: ‘Don't be ashamed to need help. Like a soldier storming a wall, you have a mission to accomplish. And if you've been wounded and you need a comrade to put you up, so what?’ Marcus Aurelius
