After a career in the Dutch Prosecution Office and the Dutch Courts, I came to Kenya in 2014, where I co-founded De Vries Premium wines in 2015 I always have enjoyed wine, but became more passionate about it when we started importing wines from different countries and after learning more about them in our WSET courses My role in the company is related to everything formal the company does such as contracts with suppliers & customers and dealing with the relevant authorities I also love running our Wine & Champagne pop-up bars together with the team because we can see in real-life how people enjoy themselves with their friends while drinking our premium wines I like most of the wines from our range but I am very excited of our new Bordeaux range If I have to select my favourite it has to be the flagship Margaux from Chateau Palmer
