After many years of training and numerous exciting projects in the wine industry, I decided to branch out and become a freelancer alongside my current role as specialised wine consultant at the renowned wine store, Bindella terra vite é vita. At the same time, I am currently studying for a Master in Wines and Spirits at the School of Life Sciences in Wädenswil/Rust Austria – Wine and Spirit Education Trust WSET4.
It gives me great pleasure to pass on my knowledge to young, motivated and forward-looking individuals in the Hotel Management School of Lucerne because know-how is the future of our economy.
So where does the passion for wine come from? You could say this has been instilled in me since birth. One might further say, it’s even in my genes. For over 66 years, my parents, Christine & Ludwig Haller, and now with my sister Franziska Niedermeier-Haller, have managed one of the leading wine wholesalers in Southern Bavaria, Haller Wine.
Everything took its natural course. My interests, knowledge, and passion in all matters of wine have deep roots, which through customer contact and collaboration with various producers always continue to grow.
Along my career, I have jumped over challenging hurdles and gone through interesting experiences, which inevitably have shaped my outlook; one of which includes:
Gebietswinzergenossenschaft Franken eG
Wein- & Sommelierschule an der IHK Deutschland
Restaurant Sonnenberg bei Jacky Donatz
Zunfthaus zur Waag bei Sepp Wimmer
Don’t ever ask me what my “favorite wine” is! A true connoisseur can only answer this question with a smile on his lips. 😉
