Bottle Apostle Clapham Abbeville Village

Ros started working with wine because she wanted to be around cheerful people and decided that most people are in a pretty good mood when they are buying wine. She started off at Majestic for 6 years where she did her WSET Advanced and developed her passion for wine. Since joining Bottle Apostle her interest in Portuguese wines has grown and grown alongside her fondness of craft beer.  

Iryna moved to London in 2019, leaving her successful model management company to follow her true passion in wine and her even truer passion…. CHAMPAGNE!! She passed her WSET level 2 and level 3 courses with distinction and there are no bounds to her vinous curiosity. Iryna enjoys organising events and introducing new wines to her friends and customers of the shop.

Diyer moved from Madrid to London in 2013 starting as a bartender and mixologist at Ronnie's Jazz Club. While working alongside the beverage manager, he developed a strong interest in wines eventually studying with The Italian Sommelier Association. After gaining experience at Hambleton Hotel, he began working as a sommelier at various restaurants including Pied a'Terre, The Ritz restaurant, Murano's and Lisboeta as beverage manager. He thoroughly enjoys creating cocktails, with an appreciation for the Rhône Valley, and possesses extensive knowledge of Portuguese and Spanish wines. 

Kieron always loved wine but came late to learning and selling it after a career in advertising while drinking it. About 8 years ago he made amends by working through WSET courses progressing to level 3 and then joined Bottle Apostle. He relishes the challenge of helping customers find just the right bottle - whether it be a food pairing, special occasion, a present, or just an end of the week wind down. His personal favourites tend to come from California and Italy, but he's always on the hunt for great finds wherever they are.

In his free time, he enjoys reading to learn more about global wine varieties and production techniques, with a special passion for Italian wines. Jackson also loves cooking and exploring how different wines can enhance a meal. He looks forward to helping customers discover their next favorite wine!
