In 2007, Brad Hickey met Nicole Thorpe. She had deep roots in McLaren Vale, where several generations of her family had worked to provide the local vineyards with much-needed water. He was a resolute wanderer, whose journey through food and drink had taken him from his home in Chicago, to Paris, to Portland, to New York City, and finally, to Australia, where he’d come to work his first vintage. After they met, Brad decided to stick around for awhile, and he’s been here ever since.
