WELCOME!


“Wine communication is my profession. With all aspects of my work – writing, consulting and lecturing – my mission is to spread appreciation, knowledge and enjoyment of wine. Learning about wine is a perpetual journey. For me the value of knowledge is in sharing it.

I collect wine experiences. To me a perfect wine encounter brings on a feeling I like to describe as ‘unbearable lightness of being’. All of a sudden all worries subside. The joy of sipping perfection is only interrupted by my occasional amazement of how such completeness can exist.”
