Congrats to Alex & Mike, 2026 LET Scholars

In other incredibly exciting news, the Rootlings network extends massive congratulations to two of its very own members, Alex Alavione (South Australia) and Michael Latham (Victoria), for being selected as scholars for the prestigious 2026 Len Evans Tutorial.

Widely regarded as the most exclusive wine school in the world, the Len Evans Tutorial is an intensive, highly revered program designed to forge the next generation of Australian wine judges, professionals, and industry leaders. Over the course of a rigorous week, scholars are put through demanding masterclasses and judging exercises, exposing them to some of the greatest, rarest, and most benchmark wines on the globe.

Being accepted into this fiercely competitive program is an outstanding achievement and a profound testament to Alex and Michael's exceptional palates and dedication to their craft. The entire Rootlings community is immensely proud to see its members recognised at such an elite level within the Australian wine industry, and wishes them the absolute best as they embark on this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
