I am a consultant specializing in luxury wines and gastronomic business, with extensive experience in high-end wine and food communication. I have worked with prestigious brands and wineries, advising on commercial strategies, gastronomic storytelling, and the creation of specialized content. Since 2006, I have written articles on gastronomy and wine for media outlets such as Diario Uno, Diario Los Andes, MDZol, FoodLovers, Diario Argentino, Decanter Magazine, Sommelier Magazine, as well as newsletters—both my own and for third parties—focused on wine and food. Passionate about culinary arts and wine culture, I devote much of my professional activity to writing about trends, pairings, and exclusive gastronomic experiences. My mission is to always promote and communicate the fascinating world of wine and gastronomy with excellence and passion.
