Chris Beach made his way into the wine industry after various farming pursuits, including dairy, orchards and tractor driving. Along the way, there was overseas travel and stints at snow resorts and in the building industry. However, the past 15 years or so have been spent in the vineyards and wineries of North East Victoria. He is currently working as a cellar hand at a Glenrowan winery, making his own wine under his own label in his down time. At first, Chris' ‘winery' was a brick garage but he has since moved up in the world and is utilising a large tin shed. He prefers to follow a minimal approach as much as possible. -JENI PORT
