Bringing the discipline of a former investment banker to wine.
With over fifteen years of experience, mostly at Nomura and BNP Paribas in Tech Investment Banking, I'm applying the same rigour to private tastings, cellar curation and Andalusian wine experiences.
WSET Level 3 in Wines, French by birth and by persuasion, I divide my time between Europe and Asia. The approach is simple: thoughtful sourcing, sharp judgement and wines selected for people who value diligence as much as pleasure.

Discretion as standard
Good questions
Before you ask
Where do tastings take place?
In private rooms, villas and offices in and around Marbella and Málaga, always at licensed venues or your own premises. The same formats also run online for distributed teams, with tasting kits shipped to each guest.
How many guests can you host?
Our formats are designed for 8-20 guests. Larger groups are possible with notice; intimate dinners for fewer are a pleasure.
Do you sell wine?
No. We hold no stock. We source through trusted, licensed merchants and charge a transparent fee only when you buy, so the advice is never shaped by what sits in a warehouse.
Is this wine investment advice?
Never. We talk drinking windows, provenance and value, not returns. If someone pitches wine as an investment, hold your wallet.
How far ahead should I book?
Three to four weeks for most events. Year-end and late spring book out earlier.
What does it cost?
Tastings from €1,200 all-in, depending on wines, format and venue. Day experiences from €240 per person, weekends from €1,400. Your first cellar review costs nothing.
