"The development of personal relationships with the men and the women behind the most famous wines nurtured my endless passion for fine wine.

 

World-class winemakers inspire me because they beat adversity and irrationality daily, are relentless against nature, never compromise for anything less than perfection, yet remain humble and approachable.

I am a firm believer that there are many benefits from bringing the world of fine wines closer to the community of business and opinion leaders."
