Sommeliers

Cameron Douglas MS

Cameron is an experienced wine writer, commentator, judge, reviewer, presenter and consultant.

Not only does he carry the Master Sommelier credential (only around 260 have attained this qualification since its inception in 1969, and the Masters’ Exam is deemed the hardest in the world), but he earned it as the first in New Zealand (in fact, at the time, the first in the Southern Hemisphere) and took out the trophy for the top marks – demonstrating that this Kiwi will stop at nothing to further his love of all things beverage.
