Robert and Leslie Alexander
We are a couple of 40somethings who for the past 15 years have been involved full-time in the wine industry including teaching, building and running our own restaurant and as wine importers. We are both qualified sommeliers and have travelled extensively over three continents visiting hundreds of wineries. But we kept being drawn back to Piedmont and have settled in Treiso in the heart of Barbaresco where we believe some of the best red wines in the world are made. We constantly visit and evaluate the literally hundreds of cantinas on our doorstep and will help you make educated choices when visiting our beautiful region.
Not only are we wine tasting experts but Robert has experienced the work that goes into the vineyards and cantinas in multiple wine regions. He understands all aspects of wine-making from cultivation, harvesting and production to bottling the finished product.
Leslie is also an accomplished chef (15+ years experience) and an talented artist/painter, who specialises in colourful and vibrant acrylic depictions of wine related scenes especially cellars/cantinas. www.cellarpaintings.com
