James Majer

General Manager – Incantina

James started out in the hospitality industry at an early age, originally behind the scenes doing accounting and payroll for a well known Perth bar. 19 years down the track and James has gained vast experience in all areas of hospitality from venue management, retail, as well as wholesaling and importing. James’ passion for fine wine was developed over a period of 8 years managing Perth’s premier wine store ‘Steves Fine Wine’ in Nedlands, where he developed a love of European wines, particularly white Burgundy, and Australia’s ‘alternate’ varietals.

James has also written and co-written a number of award winning wine lists, with recognition by both the Australian Hotels Association & Gourmet Traveler. With outstanding knowledge of both food and wine matching, as well as sourcing wines, James is able to tailor wine lists to individual restaurants needs.

After a gap-year in Europe, Alyce returned home with a passion for wine and event management. Completing her studies back in Australia, she gained experience with the Wine Industry Association of Western Australia before starting her career at Frankland River’s Ferngrove Wine. This experience established a love for the wine industry and in particular Great Southern wines. These days Alyce is the friendly voice you hear over the phone and balances a mix of marketing, assisting the sales team & co-ordinating the wine deliveries.

Michael Kelly

Account Manager

Mick is our resident marketing and sales guru. His extensive experience in both the retail and wholesale aspects of the industry has been developed through being in the wine trade since 1991. This all came about after developing a passion for fine Bordeaux and Burgundy (thanks to a kind relative with an exquisite cellar!).

He says “With a bent for fine boned, cool climate wines, the Castelli range is right up my alley and just quietly, it doesn’t hurt that the wines are damned good value too! I can’t wait to see the upcoming reserve wines from these guys.”
