Patrick White has been dedicated to the hospitality industry for more than 20 years. Working in restaurants both in the UK and Australia, he has developed an ever growing interest in fine wine and the pivotal role it plays in the dining experience.

Patrick first became a sommelier in 2001, while working for Luke Mangan at Salt Restaurant in Darlinghurst. He spent four years running the wine lists for Luke's three restaurants before joining Otto in 2005. Patrick has completed his Advanced Certificate offered by the Court of Master Sommeliers. It is the precursor to attaining the title of Master Sommelier and Patrick is one of only three Australians to have attained this qualification. He is also a regular contributor to the Gourmet Traveller Wine Magazine.
