“Undoubtedly the most potent – and charismatic – force in wine media today.”
Joe Fattorini is the charismatic host and expert on The Wine Show, the world's most popular wine television program. He's also an experienced wine merchant, having supplied restaurants, celebrities, and even royalty, and was the wine consultant to the US PGA Tour. On The Wine Show Joe shared the world of wine with over 100 million viewers as he trained as a sommelier in China, performed wine standup comedy in Hollywood, and ran a wine marathon in Bordeaux. A winner of Wine Personality of the Year, today Joe takes audiences behind the scenes of the wine world. How to sound like an expert in 90 seconds. How he lost the actor Dominic West in a vat of grapes. And what it's like to be trapped in a wine barrel. Joe is an audience favorite in person, with a crowd, or on screen. As one client put it, "You will not find a finer, or funnier, wine speaker."

Joe dissects the wines you buy and explains why you buy them. Drawing on more than 30 years as one of the UK's top wine merchants, Joe reveals the tricks and techniques people use to get you to buy that bottle from labels to names to numbers.
Joe hosts virtual and live tastings for law firms, media organizations, large banks, and consultancies. He has never been booked only once. To this day, every client has rebooked Joe for a second event.
“Joe has been a regular fixture at our Queens Tennis Club wine events over a number of years. Without doubt, he rather than the wine has been the bigger draw and where we have received the most comments. His style, connection to the audience which is a big mix of ages, never fails to engage, entertain and inform. We wouldn't run out events without him”
