I started the Easter weekend with dear friends over lunch at Osteria dell’Unione in Treiso, followed by a tasting at Pelissero in Barbaresco.

The last time I sat here was fifteen years ago. Returning now, the landscape feels almost unchanged — the rolling hills, the quiet villages, and the Alps resting on the horizon on a clear spring day.

At Pelissero we tasted their Barbaresco Vanotu, the estate’s flagship wine, from their most prestigious cru, with Nebbiolo vines now around sixty years old.

Some places have a way of holding time still. This corner of Barbaresco is one of them. pelissero

Vinkällan Dryckesutbildningar
Deep dive into Italy today with the Anjou class at Vinkällan. For Sommelier Education Step 2, we explored terroir in the glass—from the volcanic slopes of Etna to the misty hills of Barolo. With participants from Astoria, Aira, and Operabaren, the future of Swedish sommeliers looks strong.
The Lineup
We pulled some corks to showcase regional typicity and winemaking philosophy:
* Etna Rosso 2023, Graci: Pure volcanic elegance from Sicily.
* Barolo Rocche dell’Annunziata 2020, Gagliasso: A masterclass in Nebbiolo structure.
* Brunello di Montalcino 2020, Col d’Orcia: Classic Sangiovese power from Tuscany.
* Taurasi 2019, Tenuta Cavalier Pepe: The “Barolo of the South” showcasing the Aglianico grape.
* Bolgheri Il Seggio 2023, Poggio al Tesoro: Modern Tuscan precision.
* Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, Ciavolich: Authentic expression of the Adriatic coast.
* Amarone della Valpolicella, Torre del Falasco: The rich, dried-fruit intensity of the Veneto.

Very skilled class ✨Seeing this group engage with these wines is why I love what I do.
Skål to all future sommeliers! 🥂

Yeah, we’re having a great time! 🥂😀 There is no better way to ring in the New Year than at Gullholmen, one of the most beautiful and iconic islands on the Swedish west coast. ⚓️✨
For this special evening, we are enjoying a fantastic pairing of fresh lobster and a true classic: a 1972 Château Malescot St. Exupéry. This Margaux Grand Cru Classé is a beautiful piece of history that brings so much elegance to the table. 🦞🍷
Happy New Year to you all! Thanks 😃 💛🥂

Wine wisdom kicking in fresh! Just kicked off my sixth WSET course at Vinkällan in Stockholm, and I’m proud watching this sharp group dive in. The energy’s already buzzing, and I’m ready to lead them through every swirl and sniff ahead. 🍷🗺️ Posted with permission from all participants in the photo.

What an absolute honor to meet the brilliant Ferran Centelles! 🇪🇸 A true wine master, known globally for his work at El Bulli and his incredible work at Jancis Robinson.
It was a privilege to be a part of the Spanish Wine Educator program. I’m holding the legendary Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial (Marqués de Murrieta), and he was holding a bottle of the angelicFondillón.

Thank you, Ferran and for the inspiration and an unforgettable session on the depth and quality of Spanish most esteemed wines

Spännande dagar på Yrkesakademin i Vasa, Finland! ✨🇫🇮Många intresserade studenter ville lära sig mer om vin. Som föreläsare guidade jag dem med fokus på spanska, tyska och österrikiska viner samt söta viner. Jag fick också en utmärkelse från skolan – det kändes fint 🏆

Piemonte changed me.
16 years ago I came here at this hotel i Neive for the first time. Now I’ve just finished a journey with 42 people. To show the places I once discovered myself feels both moving and special. It’s like closing a circle – but also opening a new one.

Thank you, everyone 🍷🇮🇹🌿✨📸🍇🏞️🚍
