‘I bring people to wine and wine to people!
I believe that wine is not just an alcoholic beverage: it's history, geography, chemistry, the people behind it, and much more.
I'm passionate about wine, wine region and producer visits, and, of course, wine education.'

"Uvas, pan y queso saben a besos" – grapes (wine!), bread and cheese taste like a kiss. That's what my grandfather, the original Juan, used to say when he first introduced me to a glass of wine in Mendoza. That kiss represents the special bond I feel with wine. It's more than just a drink; it's a messenger of thought, a feeling or an idea. A sincere invitation to gather around.'
