 ROGER DAVIES moved to Spain in 1987, living for a short while in the town of Soria in the north before heading south to Seville. After working as a teacher and in the computing industry he went into the wine industry. Food and wine have been two of his main interests since arriving in Spain and finally he was able to work in something for which he felt a passion. He finally decided at the start of 2002 to set up his own company offering a range of activities related to food and wine. This is where he finds himself at the moment sharing his interest and knowledge with others. |
