Morgan Dunn

Morgan Dunn was a Melbourne based sommelier with over 10 years of experience. He was one of our very first Winepilots and wrote a regular wine column for The Australian and contributed to various publications including Noble Rot. In 2017 he was named ‘Emerging Wine Writer of the Year’ at the Louis Roederer International Wine Writers’ Awards as well as receiving the Wine Communicators of Australia award for ‘Best Published Feature Article or Wine Column’. He spoke Japanese and was planning to write a book on Tokyo wine bars and wine culture in Japan. In his spare time Morgan played piano, enjoyed snowboarding and went to Escape Rooms with his twin brother. He is deeply missed by many.
