Richard Meadows - life before Grog Set up Grog in '99 after having worked for Oddbins for 10 years, latterly in Edinburgh as a branch manager and staff "Product" Trainer. R has the wset Diploma and has done the first year of the Master of Wine course. He is also a wset Approved Tutor. An very keen drinker (& taster too) with a fondness for (almost) anything tasty made from grapes...& a weakness for Champagne! Richard has what is termed in the trade a "commercial" palate ie. he likes what most people like. Many thanks to Richard & Fraser's sponsors for our April 5km Swimathon for Marie Curie, we raised £450! Ace! Janice - life before Grog
Simon - life before Grog
Heather - life before Grog
"Red" - life before Grog
Red (a.k.a. Ian) was Oddbins' "Van Rouge" in Edinburgh for 10 years until scuttling up the ladder to join us. Red has his "Intermediate" wine exam but his road knowledge is truly Encyclopaedic. He only plays the guitar when drinking Chardonnay. He is also known as "Grog van Boss" which is Dutch from his mother's side. Gary - life before Grog
Another highly efficient, cheery, meticulous GrogVan driver. Gary doesn't believe in nicknames. Gary only got 96/100 in his WSET Foundation wine exam , better luck next time mate...! Mat - life before Grog
"Chris" - life before Grog
There is another Chris in the shop too, so "Van" Chris is known as Dave (Janice's idea to save confusion). Dave has a degree in Geophysics so is probably the most overqualified van driver on the planet (he has an "intermedite" in Wine too). He is enormous & strong as an Ox, although not as hairy in the flesh as his picture would suggest..His real picture can be found on the india rugby website having played for india via a granny born there. Dave disappears for 4 months snow surfing every year (a hard life).. GREAT GROG WAREHOUSE Site maintained by Richard, hence is not perfect!

Well done to Janice for passing her "intermediate" wine course in Feb '07. Very much at the core of operations, Janice is responsible for unloading stock, ordering it,
loading vans, finance, & just about anything else important than we can get her to do.
It is fair to say that Janice is "Person-Most-Likely-to-Know".She doesn't sit down much, hence the blurry photo (always on the move!).
Simon is an scarily cheery chap & certainly knows a thing or 2 about wine (he has his Higher Certificate in wine), no prizes for guessing where he used to work(begins with O!). He can pontificate at length on many things (including wine, art, bikes, mountains)..
Heather decided not to run with the "post-Oddbins" Nicolas store regime & has joined Grog in sales.
She has the "Higher" wine certificate & is looking to study the diploma next year.
This isn't a radiation suit she is wearing, it was chucking it down with rain & she's still smiling!
Mat hails from Sheffield but we won't hold that against him (nor his love of tyres). He ran the "Oddies" in Newcastle
for aeons until insanity drove him North. Mat has his "Higher" wine exam. He is also in charge of web-photos so can only blame himself for this likeness..
