Ed Sanders’ Post

After nearly 20 years of globetrotting, I'm honoured to return to Australia as Chief Commercial Officer of Cricket Australia. Looking forward to working with the team at CA, Nick Hockley, Mike Baird and the Board to help fuel the growth of this amazing sport at home and abroad. We've loved our time in the US and still hope to spend a lot more time here in the future. But as my dear old mentor Andy Berndt at Google used to say, when a spaceship lands in your backyard, you kinda just gotta get in.

Just brilliant. Simplicity is hard, but that's what gives you cut-through.

Excited to kick off Eden Rift Vineyards' inaugural Harvest Dinner Series in the vines. Next Saturday 7/29 is a special farm-to-table dinner in the vines with wine pairings by Master Sommelier Christopher Miller, MS. Five course dinner by guest Chef Charlie Parker, formerly of Manresa in Los Gatos, Village Pub in Woodside, and Piccino in San Francisco. Should be extraordinary, hope to see you there! https://lnkd.in/gH-SSK5g

Today was a big day for Eden Rift Vineyards as we launched our wines with LANGTONS in Australia. From Ned Goodwin MW: “When I first tasted these wines blind, I couldn’t believe I wasn’t tasting quality Burgundy. We just had to get these wines into Langton's.” Check out today's Langton's homepage and this beautiful editorial. https://lnkd.in/gqmuZUKg Christian Pillsbury Christopher Miller, MS Katianna Sokol Jesper Kjaersgaard

It's amazing that there is a 12,000 strong workforce ❤️💛💚💙 suddenly available in the US, which probably may be the greatest unified block of free agents ever to roam the earth. To all my Google friends who were laid off, I am here if you need a walk, a talk, coffee, a beer, or something stronger. You will bounce back and things will be fine. This was a numbers decision, not a people decision, and you are all some of the finest people with whom I've ever had the privilege of working. #google

Last chance to lock down some truly beautiful gifts in time for Santa. Visit edenrift.com/gifts/trios by end of day Wednesday!

Super excited 🇬🇧 to launch Eden Rift Vineyards wines in the UK today with Christian Pillsbury, on the homepage of our wonderful partner Goedhuis & Co Fine Wine Merchants, the UK's top Burgundy importer 6 years running. All of you in the UK, stock up for Christmas season at goedhuis.xn--com-nd13b

I'm super excited to share that Eden Rift Vineyards has this week been named as one of the World's Top 100 Wineries by the definitive Wine & Spirits magazine. This puts our growing brand alongside such luminaries as Penfolds, Ornellaia, Bollinger, Ridge, Louis Jadot and others. This is a landmark achievement for Christian Pillsbury, Cory Waller and the whole team, and we're just getting started. If you'd like to try the wine, we're celebrating with a promo TOP100 for friends and family at our online store. Or better still, come and visit for the day 😊 https://lnkd.in/gXKks9_W

As some of you know, I have hung up my propeller hat after a long and memorable run at Google. It was an extraordinary time, and I feel deeply lucky to have worked on some world-changing stuff with life-changing people, in industry-changing roles which let me live in London, New York, and San Francisco. I will be forever grateful. My next chapter is underway, with more to come. First off, I am thrilled to have joined Eden Rift Vineyards as a partner. Eden Rift is a unique and magical place, less than an hour from Silicon Valley, with 97-point wines and an amazing team. What Christian Pillsbury has done in the past few years is simply extraordinary and has to be seen (and tasted) to be believed. We are creating something very special there, and I'd encourage you all to come visit.
