Welcoming to The Oak Barrel… ‘El Mostacho’… Dennis Roman of Senses At Wine!
Dennis Roman is wine professional from Chile that initiated his hospitality journey and wine career whilst living in South America, currently based in Sydney and perhaps known around the traps as ‘El Mostacho’.
Upon his return to Australia in 2007, Dennis joined hospitality giant, the Merivale Group, becoming a key member of the wine team at the old fine diner ‘est. restaurant’. In years to follow he made his way across the groups diverse range of awarded venues, leading wine teams and overlooking several areas of the large scale wine program. Fast forwarding that era, in 2013, he was summoned by Chef Pasi Petanen to join forces at the successful ‘pop up’ degustation restaurant ‘Cafe Paci’, to create the wine list and front the challenging wine pairings throughout the entire duration at the Riley St site.
Roman has since created his wine company Senses At Wine, with the aspiration to channel his knowledge and taste through a diverse range of wines, together with the offering of services around these great products. The enthusiastic Sommelier continues to design wine lists and host training sessions for various hospitality venues, which allows him to execute one of his major passions of the trade, Wine Education.
In addition, Dennis can be spotted moonlighting with some of Sydney’s most influential wine teams, slinging bottles and sharing his love for wines of the world.
The Oak Barrel welcomes Dennis to our Tasting Room to share his passion and knowledge for all things Chilean and Argentinian!
