My journey with wine began 14 years ago during a work trip to Oregon in the United States. The sky was a brilliant blue, and the air was filled with laughter and joy as people savored delicious food and exquisite wine under the gentle Oregon sunshine. The entire scene sparkled with happiness, like a moment straight out of a movie.
That beautiful memory has stayed with me ever since. The image of in-house brewed wine, crafted from carefully selected ingredients and farm-grown grapes, being enjoyed by so many delighted guests inspired me deeply. It ignited a passion within me to recreate that same enchanting experience for others, and that’s what led me to where I am today.
