Before anyone asks, Leo was brainwashed as a child - hence the hideous UK sweater above. Since then, he has matured + seen the light, while also becoming an adult. So, now he is a die hard University of Louisville fan, supporter + alum.

At his core, Leo Braddock is a disruptor of systems which have been. Leo is a life longer learner, 20 year wine explorer, & an experimental soul who is always pushing what could be & asking why? His passions align with the founding of Quarky Wines; bringing together his love of family, vino, community, & very little knowledge of Quantum Physics.

His community work has led to national recognition/support in both wine + social activism.
