About me

As a business expert, I advised and guided companies for many years. Meanwhile, I always had a fascination for wine, that special drink imbued with history and passion. I decided to learn more about wine and finally, in 2022, I united my two passions. Invited by winemakers and wine regions, I travel through Portugal and Spain to discover new wines. Wines that are often unknown in the Netherlands and made with love and dedication. I introduce the best wines to the Dutch market.
