Cyndal Petty A hopeless romantic for wine and food, Cyndal is nearing 15 years in hospitality while still (just) under 30. A Chef-turned-Sommelier and award-winning wine professional, Cyndal recently left a Group Sommelier role where she curated seven wine lists across multiple venues and led the wine team to Gourmet Traveller Wine Bar of the Year—just months after opening. Now freelance, Cyndal is a wine consultant, event host, wine judge, and wine writer. Passionate about sharing wine’s story with the world, she brings a fresh voice and creative solutions to the industry. After studying and traveling through most of her 20s, she’s now based in WA’s southwest, proudly embracing her role as a WA coastal cowgirl. Shanteh Wale Shanteh cut her teeth at Sydney’s award-winning Quay restaurant, where she worked for over a decade and was Head Sommelier from 2018 to 2022. She was nominated for the Good Food Guide Sommelier of the Year award on three occasions and claims that her experience as a Len Evans scholar is one of the highlights of her career. Shanteh hosts her own weekly podcast, ‘Over A Glass’, with the Deep in the Weeds Network and spends her time writing for various publications, including as a member of the Halliday Wine Companion Tasting Panel, and judging at numerous wine shows across the country.
