About Glen, Mike and Sabino

Glen Cassidy

Glen’s path into wine has been far from linear. A love for the juice began early in his adult life, developed through stories and colloquial teachings of his father, to a now trained WSET graduate and founder of Cake. On a diet of guitars, second hand synthesisers, and re-runs of Fargo, Glen is often caught frothing uncontrollably at examples of culture and commerce actually working together…add great wine-making to the mix and he’s likely to self-combust. As excited about the future as he is about the undiscovered back catalogue of Arthur Russell, Glen’s journey has only just begun…

Mike Smith

Mike is a misfit wine producer. His journey hasn’t involved family acreages, winemaking lineage or inherited pedigree. Instead, it’s been a balls-to-the-wall adventure, strapped into a home-made billy cart, hurtling towards unknown horizons at the dawning of a new era in the wine industry. Mike launched Cake Wines on the smell of an oily rag, set to the renegade sounds of Tom Morello

Sabino Matera

With a strong Italian upbringing and life long love of wines from around the world, Sabino brings over 20 years of wine knowledge to the table. With an advanced pallate and sense of humour to match, expect a rowdy, hand-waving session with one of Italys finest exports.
