Diversity is in our DNA with a proven track record of setting the tone in the Norwegian market. Our strong network, credibility and dare we say flair, has allowed us to introduce new and unique producers, areas and grape varieties to the Norwegian market throughout the years.
We don’t really appreciate being put in a box. Yes, we do have our strongholds where we’re considered best in class – but really, the world is our oyster. Stretching from classic wine regions, to the roads less travelled. This curious gang of wine professionals never stops exploring, complacency we leave for others.

The former ballet dancer, spending 20 years at The Norwegian National Ballet. Before retiring from ballet, this man had started his own wine imports company – having worked with something he had loved his entire life, he felt that the next chapter had to involve working with his true passion: Enter wine. Crazy about football, travelling and summer time, never really getting used to the harsh Norwegian winters.

This determined professional is the “odd man out” among the co-founders - always focused and stayed on the culinary path since his mid teens. From culinary school, sommelier studies and numerous restaurants (and cruise lines) known for their impressive wine program. Former member of the board for the Norwegian Sommelier Association. Left the restaurant industry in 2010 for a career in wine imports, initially as a sales rep, since 2018 as a buyer and running the fine wine allocation program for his previous employer.
