Joe Wadsack
One of Great Food Live's favourite wine experts, Joe Wadsack regularly presents wine taster items on the shows.
With a background in wine buying, Joe first appeared as a wine expert on BBC's Saturday Kitchen, as well as Channel 4's Richard & Judy and Channel 5's The Terry & Gaby Show.
Joe has also presented Great Wine Walks for UKTV Food in which, along with fellow wine expert Kitty Johnson, he took a tour of the world's greatest wine-producing countries.
His education in good food and wine began at his parent's pub/restaurant in Hampshire. Having spent a year learning the nuts and bolts of wine-making in Bordeaux, Joe then progressed, via Oddbins, to the position of wine training consultant for J Sainsbury before becoming wine buyer and wine marketing manager at Waitrose - a position he held for five years.
His fantastic palate also culminated in his becoming the youngest ever international senior judge at The Royal Melbourne Wine Show, at just 29 years old. Joe also writes monthly for Waitrose Food Illustrated and quarterly for Waitrose in Season.
