I split my time between Stockholm and Canelli in Piemonte, which means I get the best of both wine worlds. In Piemonte, I’m lucky enough to dive deep into local wine culture and have built a network of producers and professionals right at the source. Back in Stockholm, I switch gears and enjoy the global wine scene available — from classic regions to new discoveries. It keeps my glass (and my calendar) full of variety.
