Christoph fell in love with wine at the tender age of 25, when he started working the hospitality industry. His love for wine then defined his direction in life. After graduating from the Hotel Management School in Zurich, he worked in top restaurants, accompanied by courses at the Wine and Spirit Education Trust, and, the Wädenswil School of Viticulture. In 2005, he moved into the wine trade, where he was able to gain a great deal of experience as a manager in the fine wine sector. Christoph has a deep passion for artisanal and low intervention wines from traditional producers, and he is particularly fond of the French Burgundy region. Since 2019, he has been running the micro-vineyard project "die Geister, die ich rief " in the Zurich wine region. Christoph speaks German, English, French and after a few glasses of Sangiovese, a smattering of Italian. He lives with his wife and two children in Zurich.
