Howard Charles Domney

Let’s dive into the story of Howard Charles Domney – a life painted with diverse shades. Educated at Sale Grammar School, he might have seemed like an ordinary lad, but there’s more beneath the surface.

A twist in the tale – he’s not just a lad; he’s a qualified French Chef. Cooking courses and culinary adventures shaped his path.

But wait, there’s more! In the late ’70s, he took on a different canvas – a fashion shop, a venture that spanned from 1977 to 1981. This was just a prelude.

The big moment came in 1981 when the stars aligned, and Charles Mitchell Wines was born. Together with Chris Mitchell Pacey, the journey of Charles Mitchell Wines took flight, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Now, let’s talk accolades. His dedication to the world of wines earned him prestigious titles: Chevalier du Tastevin, L’Ordre Des Coteaux De Champagne, L’Union Interprofessionelle Des Vins Du Beaujolais, and École du Vin du Conseil Interprofessionnel du Vin de Bordeaux. It’s not just a collection of words; it’s a testament to his passion.

Beyond the usual, his interests paint a vibrant picture:

• Golf swings and birdies.
• Wine explorations that go beyond the glass.
• Fishing tales that might grow taller with time.
• Gym sessions that keep the engine running.
• Cooking experiments that might just lead to a masterpiece.

Golf society matters, and being the immediate past captain of Business Golf Society proves it. A membership at Mere Golf Club cements his love for the game.
