The Chef’s Table has come to an End

Dear friends of good times in the Kitchen,

The time has come to hang up my chef's apron for good!

...the stars aligned and my inner devil whispering encouragement,

I am truly ready for the transition.

I carry with me all the wonderful memories you've shared with me—

each delicious bite, every smile, and the warmth of the

**Old Lizard family**,

the cellar door team, the vineyard and office team—

and our cherished customers over the years.

You’ve not only filled my kitchen with joy but also my heart.

THANK YOU to the Davey family.

and a big THANK YOU to Kym

As I step away, I look forward to painting—

a passion that has been waiting for its turn in the spotlight

and perhaps listening more closely to my inner voice and my wife, Renate,

the kids and Grandchildren.

From the bottom of my heart,

thank you all for being part of this incredible journey.

You’ve made my time at WineFood McLaren Vale unforgettable.

With love, laughter, a pinch of pride and a dash of wine, cheers to you!
