Foehn — The Alpine Wind

After a career in the restaurant business, including several detours into wine, I came to Switzerland to marry the love of my life, my wife Veronica. Little did I know the local wine scene would grab my attention as well. The diversity of grapes and styles in Switzerland is amazing and with the new youth movement firmly in place, the Swiss are riding a wave of innovation and self-discovery. My blog artisanswiss.com is a sketch pad, of sorts, for the reference book I'm writing and the impetus to travel to every corner of the country in search of the story. So far, it's been a most rewarding journey.
