Rich Oatley
Host of Wine & Cocktail Shows and Events
Who is Rich?
Rich’s passion for wine stems from his teens when working for a prominent Surrey wine importer. Since then he has brought the subject to the airwaves during his years in radio, presenting shows on local stations in the South, all the while writing on the subject for local media. The opportunity to combine his presentational skills with his passion for wine proved irresistible, and Rich joined the Taste of the Vine team in 2002. Since then he has hosted over 800 events in his own inimitable style, using humour and participation to complement his wealth of knowledge.
He has spent much time mixing up a storm on a daily basis in his cocktail bar at home, earning himself the moniker of ‘Daiquiri Dick’. Rich brings with him his own brand of engaging entertainment and great stage presence for both large shows and more intimate events alike.
