I’m a designer by background, a wine enthusiast by heart.
Not a sommelier, not a pro – just someone who’s endlessly curious about the stories inside the glass.

Wine has taken me to unexpected places – from dusty vineyards in Peru, to cellar doors in Australia’s Hunter Valley, to family-run bodegas across Spain. I love visiting wineries, meeting the people behind the bottles, and discovering how place, craft, and culture shape what we taste.

Veni, Vino, Variety is my way of sharing that passion – one grape, one journey, one story at a time.
