Dux of 2010: Jeannette Clarke, Manager/Wine Buyer, La Vita Buona, Melbourne

“The scholarship has been an invaluable experience for me. I came away with not only a wonderful prize but also a much deeper understanding of Italian wine. I encourage people who are passionate about wine to apply to the Lorenzo Galli wine scholarship. It’s the most generous and comprehensive opportunity Australian oenophiles have to learn about wine the Italian way.”

Originally from South Africa, Jeannette has a Bachelor of Agricultural Science, Enology and Viticulture from the University of Stellenbosch, and is a Certified sommelier with the Court of Master Sommeliers. She now adds a wealth of experience to her knowledge of Italian wine and can include 'Dux - Lorenzo Galli Wine Scholarship' on her CV.
