Wine Tasting Experience

Dany Teixeira​

Hi,

I am Dany. I am a wine sommelier and a wine buyer, working for a wine importer company. We focus on small independent wine producers who are devoted to a low intervention winemaking, biodynamic methods and sustainability. I come from Cahors, which some of you might know as the French-Malbec or Black-Wine town of South West France. My first job was picking grapes when I was 15 and I fell in love with this world ever since. I worked all over France, choosing establishments in order to learn more about wine. I arrived in the UK in 2011 and have since worked in a Michelin star restaurant, and some of the top wine bars in London (please see links). I also helped to set up a new bar, imported wines and run wine tastings and other events. Even more importantly, I visited a number of winemakers in France, Italy, Spain, Austria, Germany, where I had the unique experience of seeing how their wine is grown and made, understanding the importance of “terroir". I am now keen to share my knowledge and experience of wine with you.
