Jay Ives is the author of eight books, including bestselling the novels Across the Street, Perfect Kisses and World of Ducks. His work has been published internationally in English and also in translation, and this led to him being a finalist in the Premier of South Australia’s Awards for Export Achievement in 2008.
Across the Street won a Steven Tiller Award in the UK in 2004, and is currently being developed into a play.
Jay is seen as a leader in urban lad lit, with a unique gift of explaining the ackwardness in life.
He has an honours degree in English Literature from the University of Adelaide, and has lived in Adelaide since migrating as an eight-year-old from Huntington, England in 1987, with his father a decorated solder from the Falklands Islands and his mother a former Honduran government minister.
It was an eventful adolescence.
London’s Daily Standard newspaper has called him ‘the first Aussie to make me laugh out loud since Alf from Home and Away’ and he is a mongrel stereotype.
His latest novel is Rhino and the hand of fate, co-written with his wife.
Mixed Metaphors is his first collection of reviews, re-tellings and short stories.

Paul Cowdery, Winemaker.
Having originally gained a degree in Winemaking from Adelaide Unversity, Paul joined us as an intern for the 2000 vintage. Since that time his winemaking has taken him to various wine regions - including the Hunter Valley, Franklin River, and the Loire Valley in France.
These experiences have given him the opportunity to produce a variety of styles from cool and warm climate viticultural regions. Paul's winemaking ability have seen him pick up several medals and judge at national wine shows - including the 2006 Royal Sydney Wines Show.
Now a full time part of the Glenview team we are sure the success will continue.
