In a captivating journey through the world of wine, we are guided by a distinguished sommelier whose name commands respect in the realm of oenology. With a glass in hand and a passion that radiates from every pore, he shares the story of how he found his calling amidst the vineyards and cellars of the world, and the remarkable achievements that have defined his illustrious career. With a humble nod to his beginnings, he recounts the serendipitous moments and chance encounters that set him on the path to becoming a sommelier—a path that would lead him to discover not just the nuances of wine, but the art of storytelling and the joy of sharing his passion with others. With warmth and sincerity, he encourages his audience to pursue the dreams with unwavering determination, to embrace failure as a stepping stone to growth, and to never lose sight of the joy that comes from following one's dreams. Aris Sklavenitis has a degree in Oenology.
