Hi, I'm great. Thank you for asking me to join you on the show. It's great to be back in New York.

Great to have you here. So where did you grow up?

I grew up in Oxford in England and I was in Oxford till about I was 13 and then moved

up to the north of England to Manchester.

What was that like?

A big difference.

Oxford, big university town, incredibly traditional, beautiful, the dreaming spires of Oxford and then I moved when I was 13 to a big industrial

city which is Manchester one of the biggest in England but it was a great time to go as a teenager

I had a fun teenage year in years in in Manchester

You knew David Beckham was going to come one day. Oh, yeah, that's right

You were ahead of the game. I was ahead of the game. What brought on that move? My parents my mother remarried was there a lot of

a lot of wine around when you were a kid

I didn't have the classic English upbringing where you were born in London and

having sellers belonging to my parents

friends. I kind of got into wine much more slowly and my drink as a teenager was

what all teenage English people drink which was mainly cider and some beer.

But my real introduction to wine was when I got to Hong Kong when I was about 22.

How did that come together?

I was at Sheffield University reading English literature and the day after I graduated I moved to Japan
