Sourcing
Regarding wine, I am a specialist of France, Italy and Spain. Having worked in Argentina, I also specialize in South America.
My network includes niche locations such as Eastern Europe and Caucasus, Lebanon and Uruguay, between others.
My varied sourcing offers bottles, bulk or other formats, from large wineries to family-owned domaines, as well as organic, bio-dynamic, and natural winemakers.
Thanks to my experience and network, I can offer dairy products from anywhere in Europe, with a focus on French AOP cheeses.
My sourcing capabilities range from competitive commodity products to unique artisan makers and organic products.
My service includes providing seasonal and complementary gourmet products, bringing novelty throughout the year.
My buying experience allows me to comprehend sourcing from an internal point of view and align supplier offers with the client's requests in terms of product specifications and pricing concerns.
