Mallorca Ambassador

Gabriel Lucas Dimmock is Star Wine List’s Mallorca ambassador and the sommelier behind our guide to the best wine spots on the Balearic Islands.
Gabriel Lucas entered the wine business in a quite unusual way: he used to be a flight attendant, but then the airline he worked for shut down after a terrible accident in 2008. He then went into the restaurant business and, for a couple of years, he owned two restaurants. It was during these years that his interest in wine started to grow, and in 2014 he decided to start studying to become a sommelier in Barcelona.
His journey as a sommelier has seen Gabriel Lucas named Best Sommelier of Mallorca and winner of the Ruinart Challenge in Spain. Today, he works with an import company, where he’s in charge of training the sales departments. He also consults for other customers and is building his own space for wine in Palma de Mallorca.
