Painted Wolf Wine

Named after the scientific name for an African wild dog Lycaon Pictus, meaning Wolf in Greek and Painted in Latin, Painted Wolf Wines was founded in 2006 by former professional chef Jeremy Borg and wife Emma. Jeremy came into the world of wine via a love of cooking, where he went from bottle washer and beer puller in various London pubs to sous-chef at London’s Groucho Club in a matter of a short few years. Later he moved to San Francisco where he opened a gourmet pizza restaurant and moon-lighted in the wine industry, which finally cemented a passion and his determination for a future in wine making. Producing hand-crafted and distinctive wines, Jeremy and Emma also actively support the conservation of the highly endangered African wild dog (painted wolf) and the protection of the diminishing wild spaces of Africa, through its donations to the EWT (www.ewt.org.za) and Tusk (www.tusk.org).
