Gerhard Perold from Perold Wine Cellar
Gerhard Perold is our wine connoisseur with his roots firmly planted in the South African wine community and culture. Gerhard has a passion for wine, sustainable agriculture, people and food. Very much like his great-grandfather, Abraham Izak Perold, who brought 177 grape varietals to South Africa early in the 1900s. Abraham Izak Perold was also the man who created the Pinotage varietal by crossing a Cinsaut and Pinot Noir. Why not read a bit more about this fascinating history that inspired Gerhard to dedicate his life to supporting South African wine and its people?
Gerhard’s passion for wine and South Africa is contagious. So if you are interested in either, do get in touch with him. He is amazing at providing you with a wine-tasting experience you will always remember. You can get in touch with Gerhard here.
Gerhard owns Perold Wine Cellar and runs The Mendip Pantry with his lovely family in Chewton Mendip in the UK.
Michelle Cheyne from Content College
Michelle Cheyne sees herself as a multipotentialite with many irons in different fires. Her background in psychology has led her to start her business, Instinctive Living in 2018. It has evolved a lot since then and although she still supports small businesses with their Search Engine Optimisation and content creation. However, her main focus is on the Wisdom Seekers Society where she is building a tribe of lifelong learners and curious seekers.
She moved to the UK with a very young family in 2015 all the way from the wonderful gem of a town, Swellendam in the Western Cape, South Africa.
Michelle spends her days writing and creating from a little converted chapel in a tiny village in Derbyshire where she lives with her family. You can always connect with her on her websites, and social media platforms or even book a call on Pick My Brain.
