I have been intensively involved with wine for many years. I always enjoyed a glass of wine with friends and talking to them about vineyards, cultivation, vintages and the production of excellent wines.

Over the years, I constantly expanded my knowledge by attending training courses and seminars up to the highest possible levels except the Master of Wine (MW).

I publish respectively taste for Falstaff Magazine, Sachwert Magazine, CW-News-Asia, Weinfeder Magazine, Falstaff Wine Guide and  Private Banking Magazines.

I am a certified sommelier, writer, member of the FIJEV (International Federation of Wine Journalists), WSET certified Dipl.-Kfm., situated in UAE and Europe. Furthermore I am working on a publication on the topic of „wine as value“. I am also spokesman for Germany, Great Britain and UAE of the CW Wine Group and member of the core tasting team for a Fine Wine Guide, which will be read by more than 100.000 readers in Europe.

I am the present ambassador of „Die Güter“, a wine association, consisting of nine family-run wineries from nine growing regions in Germany. Their motto is „9 Terroirs, 9 Families, 9 Top Crus“. Members are f. g. Dr. Bürklin Wolf, Georg Breuer, Count Neipperg and Kühling Gillot comparable with Primum Familiae Vini, the international family estate association with similar objective.

My goal is to help winelovers and winecollectors to develop their skills through trainings and professional wine tours. I support the national and – international wine – and spirit media with my tasting skills, my own reports and I also develop and rebalance fine wine collections and – portfolios for privates and institutionals.
