Private Cellar Club Turns Hobby Into Niche Wine Business

Fox Bob and Anne Boland run the Private Cellar Club from a small aim to bottle bulk wine for members and select clients. What began as a three-man ANU Physics Departent venture grew into a tasting and bottling operation with a limited license, moved to a new shop, expanded to courses, and kept the informal club spirit while earning some return for their efforts.
