The people I work with!
Hi! My name is Louise. I grew up in Limerick. I’m a qualified Speech and Language Therapist but after 4 years travelling and finding myself through carving out a career in wine in the States, and visiting vineyards in Europe, I moved home and now live in Galway. I’ve worked with Cavavin Ireland since its inception in July 2022. I’m a wine loving normal person, and a budding sommelier. I love the outdoors and exercise, trying all the new foodie spots, and trying to be funny!
What is your favourite film?
Midnight in Paris
What do you do in your spare time?
I’m really bad at using my spare time wisely but when I do I absolutely love a road trip where the end destination is a hike or an outdoor adventure with a pit stop for coffee and cake along the way. Additionally, I also love a good book, watching a good crime series or BBC drama, cooking, the gym, and tasting new wines of course!
What is your favourite food?
Any component of breakfast. I could eat breakfast all day! A roast dinner with all the trimmings is a close second.
What is your favourite Drink?
During the day, coffee and water.
In the evening or at the weekend, a glass of red wine and Champagne on special occasions.
If you won the lotto what would you do with your winnings?
Travel the world … in search of my own Chateau and vineyard of course!
Describe your perfect Saturday night?
An early dinner and drinks with friends so that there’s plenty of time for dancing!
Give us your best quote/saying.
Quote "Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never ever have enough” Oprah Winfrey
Saying “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get!”
What is your favourite thing about your Job?
This may sound cheesy but working with your passion everyday, what’s not to love? I live and breathe the wine scene and all that comes with it. What gives me the most joy is seeing people enjoy wine and exploring and trying new wines because of one small (positive) encounter with myself or my team. Of course, none of what I do would be possible without the amazingly talented, funny and supportive people I work with, my Cavavin crew!
My name is Eva, I'm a busy mum of 3. I like to keep busy both inside the house and outside. I moved to Australia when I was 17 where I found my passion for all things food and wine related, took the job with Cavavin with a hope of having something to talk to my husband about other than our kids.
What is your favourite film?
I'm a sucker for romance movies.
What do you do in your spare time?
Besides trying to keep my house in somewhat of a presentable way, I like to get to the gym when I can, meet up with the girls and I like doing skincare in the evenings.
What is your favourite food?
I'm a real foodie girl, I love eating everything except oysters. Food is a big passion of mine so I'm happy to have anything, I really dislike sharing food, this isn't ideal with small kids.
What is your favourite Drink?
This is really hard, I love whiskey,Wine, Tea and Coffee again i'll drink anything except for a pint of Guinness.
If you won the lotto what would you do with your winnings?
100% I'd wear new socks and underwear everyday for sure and Id have to spoil Dave and the kids.
Describe your perfect Saturday night?
Kids in bed, Take away with Dave and a glass of red, We like to go to bed early so I'd probably go do a facemask and force David too as well.
Give us your best quote/saying.
At this stage of life its definitely ‘’ I'll send you to bed’’
What is your favourite thing about your Job?
This is really hard because this is the first job I've had where I can say I enjoy it all but I love thinking that we can make someone's ordinary day into more with just being ourselves in the store and I think choosing a wine for someone is very personal. It's kind of like choosing a fragrance for someone you can't just give everyone the same one.
