Rex was born in country Victoria just north of Avoca. After leaving school, he set out for Melbourne and joined the Rag Trade with Bradmill Industries culminating at Yakka as Sales & Marketing Manager of Lee Jeans. Wanting to start his own business, after much searching Rex bought the Victoria Hotel in Avoca. He successfully ran and subsequently sold the Hotel & Motel before joining Blue Pyrenees nine years ago.
Having a passion for wine, Rex started on the counter and went on to become manager of Cellar Door. In addition to Cellar Door Rex also manages Regional Sales, general enquiries and hosts visitors to the winery.
