Throughout summer and winter you can find me hiking, climbing, skiing, ski-touring and snowshoeing in the mountains.

What fascinates me about oenology is the precise craftsmanship that underlies the production of fine wines and the great variety of styles.

For me, culinary expeditions are some of the most interesting ways to get an insight into the different cultures of the world and are even more fun when cooking for and with friends and family.
