Vinakademiet Niveau 2

My path to wine started when I began my waiter apprenticeship a little over 14 years ago. I didn't know anything and hadn't really tasted much back then, but as my school training progressed, my interest steadily increased. 

I was also lucky enough to have some skilled 'graduates' (as they are called) who were more than happy to share their knowledge. So the years went by, and I kept building on it, and over time I have discovered what I find most fascinating about wine: why does each wine taste the way it does? 

There are indeed many angles to dive into. And I have the opportunity to share that with our guests at my workplace, where we not only create wine menus but also have a historic wine cellar, where exciting wines have been collected since the 80s. 

A good combination of both is probably why I am where I am today, and not to forget the good and talented colleagues – who are probably the most important of all.
