Wine is my great passion! I am a born-and-bred Moselle child born in the beautiful wine village Lieser. I was raised with wine as my father – who was the Managing Director of the resident winegrowers’ association at that time – laid the cornerstone for my passionate interest in wine. After a commercial training in the wine sector, a vocational diploma in economics, various jobs in Australia, Italy and Luxembourg and a part-time successfully completed degree course to become an officially recognized Bachelor of Business Administration for Tourism, I had been working for the Deutsche Lufthansa in the flying service for more than 36 years. Next to German I speak English, French, Italian and Spanish. I had been working in a responsible leading position for more than 18 years now. All of my trips and journeys led me to all five continents of the world, but always back to the wonderful river Moselle and to my real passion … the wine! What would have been more obvious than making a well-grounded training in this sector?
