Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Members Only: Building Wine Clubs From London to Shanghai
Q: What's the elevator pitch of 67 Pall Mall to someone who has never heard of a private member club?
67 Pall Mall is a club with a membership fee that uses a large portion of that fee to subsidize wine pricing, addressing the core issue that fine wine has become increasingly expensive, while providing a space where members can work, meet, and enjoy a vast, rotating wine program with amenities.
Building Buckets: What Fine Wine Can Learn from Luxury Brands' Data Playbook
Q: What are the practical buckets you recommend, and how do you use them in engagement?
Start with four buckets: new, loyal, re-engaged, and dropped. Use these to tailor approaches—new clients should understand the brand emotionally and contextually; loyal ones can be nurtured toward broader product engagement; re-engaged and dropped require careful messaging that avoids hard selling and emphasizes remembrance and opportunity.
Building Buckets: What Fine Wine Can Learn from Luxury Brands' Data Playbook
Q: How has your job changed over the last 15 years in terms of analysis used?
Originally the focus was on measuring performance like sales and quantities; after COVID, the emphasis shifted to measuring engagement and the strength of the client-brand relationship, with a broader view on loyalty and resonance across the customer journey.
Building Buckets: What Fine Wine Can Learn from Luxury Brands' Data Playbook
Q: My first question for you is the very traditional one. Can you tell us what you do and introduce yourself?
I'm a mathematician by training who translates complex customer behavior data into actionable commercial strategy for luxury maisons, focusing on client telling, segmentation, and loyalty program design; I help define how to measure and engage clients across the brand ladder.
NCNN ep7: Don't Forget You're Throwing a Party
Q: What makes your approach to Burgundy events different from traditional wine tastings?
The focus is on storytelling through place, people, and culture, not just wine; we curate conversations, invite diverse storytellers, and design experiences that feel like a private party rather than a one-way tasting.
