Colin Thorne

Colin Thorne tried to be a chef many years ago but found the wine cellar much more interesting.

He has been the buyer for the Vagabond Wines group of wine bars and shops since 2010, winning the Decanter Retailer of the Year and Innovator Award along the way.

Colin joined DWWA as a judge for the first time in 2019.
