Stefan Metzner - our sommelier

The native Münchner now has 30 years of experience in the wine industry. After training as a sommelier, he worked in various Michelin * restaurants as a sommelier before switching to the trade in 1986. After training as a wine academic (WSET Diploma), he passed the exam to become a WSET certified educator and opened a WSET wine school in München. In 2014, he won the "Copa Jerez", a renowned sherry competition, and through continuous training became a "VIA - Italian Wine Ambassador" in 2015 and a " VIA - certified Italian wine educator" in 2019, received the WOSA Certificate in 2016, became the winner in Germany first in 2017 and won the grand final in Epernay for the "Laureat – Concours des Ambassadeurs du Champagne". In 2018 he passed the training to become a certified Rioja educator and in 2019 the "Valpolicella wine specialist". Through his ongoing tastings, whether in the wine school, at wine fairs or through his work as a juror for various wine publications and competitions, Stefan is always up to date with the latest developments in the world of wine. Even after 30 years, his passion for wine remains unbroken and his credo is still the same:

"There are only 4 wines in this world: red, white, tastes and tastes not"

.

With this Stefan speaks from the heart and we are happy that he tastes wines from cheap to expensive for us and gives his educated opinion.

Because that's what it's all about for him in the end; to convey enjoyment and to recommend the right wine for everyone and for every occasion.
