Adam Walls

It was through working in bars and developing a healthy interest in all things distilled that Adam stumbled across the world of wine. This stumble morphed into 10 years of working with wine in hotels, bars and restaurants across Australia and the UK, followed up by stints in cellar doors in the Hunter Valley.

He holds the WSET Diploma in Wine & Spirits; is a graduate of the Australian Wine Research Institutes (AWRI) Advanced Wine Assessment Course (AWAC) and was the DUX of the 2019 Len Evans Tutorial.

He has been part of the judging teams at both regional and capital city wine shows across Australia for the past 5 years.

Regional Editor for France (excluding Bordeaux & Burgundy)
It was during her time studying for a French and Italian degree that Natalie began her foray into wine: tutoring French in exchange for WSET lessons in her spare time (she now realises who got the better deal!). She moved to the Languedoc after graduating to work for a vineyard tour company, before returning to the UK in 2016 to join the tastings team at Decanter.
