Jason has been in the wine trade for 25 years since leaving university. He co-founded Flint Wines in 2006, using his existing Burgundian contacts to start constructing what has subsequently become one of the most dynamic and comprehensive Burgundy lists in the UK. He spends a substantial amount of time in Burgundy keeping his fingers on the pulse of this ever changing region, unearthing young talent and helping to bring their wines to market. When in the UK he runs the buoyant off trade side of the business which continues to flourish and provide important widespread distribution for Flint’s portfolio.
About Us
Stannary St Wine Co. was born from trade fine wine merchant Flint Wines, when directors and founders Jason Haynes and Sam Clarke elected to create a dedicated team for the steadily growing private client branch. Since Stannary St Wine Co. was founded, we have expanded our specialities to cover Burgundy, Italy, and the USA, with our experienced team of buyers bringing new wineries into our portfolio every year.
Our History
When we begin working with someone we very much see it as a long term, mutual relationship. Our winemakers trust us to represent their wines in the UK, and we have absolute confidence that they will continue to produce excellent wines year after year. We prefer to work with people in whom we believe completely and who will fashion consistently high class, progressive and authentic wines.
In many respects, we see buying as more important than selling. If we buy well then sales will follow and with such a philosophy we have to buy what we are passionate about. All we then need to do is convey that passion to you. Between us all at Stannary St Wine Co. we have a lot of experience and we use our expertise and knowledge to buy wines we truly believe are fantastic. It is as simple as that.

Director & USA Buyer
After leaving university in St Andrews, where his love of golf was ignited, Sam spent ten years as an integral part of Sporting Index, before changing tack and pursuing another of his passions, wine, by co-founding Flint Wines in 2006. Aside from being Sales Director, Sam looks after the company’s burgeoning US portfolio, which now features more than twenty agencies from Oregon, California, Washington and New York! He has tapped into the new movement of vignerons wanting to make refined, food friendly wines, which sit very comfortably alongside the company’s Burgundy offerings.
