葡萄酒大师罗伯特 •盖迪斯是一名资深的葡萄酒布道者、葡萄酒酒评家和极富魅力的公众演讲家；他同时也是被誉为‘黄金书The Gold Book’即《澳大利亚葡萄酒品鉴年册》系列书籍的作者。

After starting his wine industry career in the vineyards of the Clare Valley in the 70s, Rob was the 3rd Australian to pass the rigorous IMW exams and become a Master of Wine.
罗伯特的葡萄酒职业生涯开始于上个世纪的70年代，最初是在南澳州的克莱尔谷打理葡萄园。在经过不懈努力后，罗伯特于1992年成功通过了葡萄酒大师的严峻考核，成为澳大利亚第三位荣获葡萄酒大师头衔的专业人士。

Rob’s passion for the drinks industry goes without saying and his strength in communication is proved by considerable presentation experience with radio and television which includes over 15 years with ABC radio in various guises and lecturing in most English speaking international markets as both educator and after dinner speaker.
罗伯特对葡萄酒行业有着无限的激情，同时也非常擅长与公众交流葡萄酒知识和体验。罗比特经常受邀出席各种电视和电台节目，他与ABC电台已经有超过15年的合作历史。此外，他也经常受邀到众多英语国家授课或者担任晚宴的演讲嘉宾。

Other milestones in his career were becoming the founding executive of the Wines of the Riverina Promotion Committee, tasting wines from the wreck of the William Salthouse sunk 1838, extensive marketing experience with Rosemount Estate, a stint at Fosters Wines and is the former owner and Managing Director of WineStream, Australia’s leading wine specialist public relations consultancy plus judging numerous national and international wine shows.
罗伯特在葡萄酒行业有着非常广泛的从业经验，他早年曾供职于福斯特酒业集团（Fosters Wines）属下的玫瑰山庄（Rosemount Estate），并于任职期间积累了丰富的市场营销经验；他也是WineStream葡萄酒公关策略咨询公司的前任股东和总经理。罗伯特的另一个里程碑是当选为滨海沿岸（Riverina） 推广协会的创始执行主席。此外，他也广泛担任本国和国际级别的葡萄赛事的评委和顾问，并曾受邀品鉴过从1838年的沉船--威廉·索尔特豪斯号（澳大利亚殖民地初期第一艘从加拿大开往澳洲的商船）上找到的葡萄酒。

He is a frequent visitor to overseas educational events and premium wine regions to maintain his knowledge of changing trends and the latest in thinking in production and consumption. These include the 2006 Masters of Wine symposium in Napa Valley and visiting owners and marketers in Bordeaux and Champagne in 2007.
罗伯特经常往返于不同国家所举行的葡萄酒教育活动，以及走访各大知名产区，以此来不断地充实自己的知识、了解世界上关于葡萄酒的生产和消费的最新动态。比如出席2006年在美国纳帕谷举办的葡萄酒大师论坛；2007年走访法国波尔多和香槟产区，与当地的酒庄庄主和经销商见面会谈。（我觉的这两个例子去掉比较好，对于他的级别来说，这样的活动应该是不值得一提的，提了反而有失身份，你觉得呢？）

He has had considerable contact within the wine industry as organiser of the annual Masters of Wine Revision Course and presenting at Master Classes. He has been a committee member of the Australian Opera Gourmet Dinner Committee since 1996. He was Convenor of the NSW Wine Industry Tourism and Promotions Committee with a responsibility for the NSW stand at Wine Australia 2004.
