With years of expertise and passion for quality, I bring a diverse perspective to the world of wine, spirits, and sensory evaluation. My journey is driven by a strong desire to understand and share the story behind each glass. Whether I’m advising clients, teaching enthusiasts, professionals or cooperating with industry experts, my aim remains the same: to secure your success through specialised, professional services.
As a holder of the WSET Diploma and the title Weinakademiker, I have developed a global perspective on wine and spirits. Aside from education, I work in a variety of positions, including consulting, sensory evaluation, and public speaking. I’ve had the honour of creating and co-creating several new geographical indications in Hungary, thus contributing to the recognition and protection of our distinctive wine areas.
Over the years, I’ve worked with leading brands and institutions across the globe, sharing my knowledge and helping them achieve their goals.
From creating bespoke wine lists to managing cellars and arranging tastings, I take delight in personalising solutions to my clients’ specific needs.
In addition to my consulting work, I am an educator for institutions such as the Austrian Wine Academy or the Borkollégium in Budapest. My teaching methodology blends technical expertise with storytelling to provide a dynamic and interesting learning experience for both students and professionals.
Seeing the practical and theoretical side of the wine and spirit world, as a trained winemaker and member of the Hungarian Wine Expert Commission, as well as co-author of various publications, demonstrates my industry competence and reliability. But my work does not end with wine; my sensory abilities extend to spirits and coffee, saké, and beer, providing a comprehensive perspective on flavour and experience.
