About me

The Discreet Sommelier is Neil Allanby, a wine educator personal sommelier and writer, now living in Melbourne. I spent 12 years living in France including five years in the Rhone Valley, having studied at, and graduated from Université du Vin in Suze-la-Rousse.  I graduated WSET Level 4 Diploma studied in Macon-Davayé, Bourgogne.

I spent my available time visiting all the major wine growing regions of France and most of Europe.  I believe the purpose of wine is to bring pleasure to everyone and my goal is to cut through the snobbery of wine.

In October 2018 I was appointed Rhone Valley Vineyard wine ambassador, currently the only such ambassador in Australia.
