You've Been Served: Nisea Doddy, head sommelier at The Shelbourne

I was educated in Dublin where I studied marketing and design in Mountjoy Square but after I graduated, I took the decision to emigrate to Portugal for five years.

This was the first time I ever helped at a vineyard harvest which really excited me. I then spent two years travelling and working in both New Zealand and Australia in hospitality and seasonal vineyard work.
