His journey through the wine world started in a natural manner: as wine lover and collector. His love for written stories and also for fine wines led him to the decision of starting a wine blog named “Vindinpresa” but the decisive step was made in January 2011 when he got his break as a wine writer-editor of “Vinul.Ro” magazine. He gains an extensive expertise by regularly participating in wine-tasting, national and international wine fairs and festivals and being member of wine-juries .
