My Wine Consulting
Wine is culture. Emotion. Responsibility.
That awareness is at the heart of my consulting – for those who don’t settle for the obvious, but seek depth. In the glass. In conversation. In the way they choose their wines.
Is wine consulting for me?
Yes – if you’re a private collector who wants to understand what your cellar is truly capable of. And what it’s missing.
Yes – if you’re a business looking to make a statement beyond label prestige and glossy brochures.
Yes – if you’re simply looking for an honest, independent sparring partner. For the big and the quiet decisions that revolve around wine.
Why Wine Consulting with The Art of Riesling?
The Art of Riesling stands for three things:
Fascination. Authenticity. Aesthetics.
That’s the standard I live by – in every article, every bottle, every encounter. What I share doesn’t come from brochures. It comes from experience. From travel. From conversations with the people behind the wines. I only recommend what I’ve personally tasted, understood – and can stand behind. Because good wine needs trust. And an expertise you can’t just Google.
That trust is well-placed: I currently consult clients in Germany, Switzerland and South Tyrol – both in English and German – guiding them from initial inventory through to long-term collection strategy.
What you get is not generic advice. But clear perspective. Honest feedback. A partner on equal footing – with respect for craftsmanship, beyond hype and gloss.
