Josu was born in Bilbao, known as the “North” capital of Spain, famous port town in the past and service city in present. Inside the region know as Basque Country, it covers both territory in Spain and France, with common language (Basque), culture, cuisine and land scenes.
For them, Basque people, South France is like a second home, as they share same culture, passion for good food, delicate cuisine and delicious wines. And this is quite an important fact, because thanks to constant visits to Bayonne, Saint-Jean-de-Luz, and living in Bordeaux, interest in France and it´s products becames natural.
In 2004, his University Degree in Economics and Marketing brought him for 7 months to the capital of wine: Bordeaux. Having learned French, it became a great experience that led him to be much more into wine and, of course, the French food, patisserie, ….. Many wines and many long nights in these period… Happy memories indeed.
During 2009 and 2014 this interest continue growing becoming a job, a profession, as wine manager in the famous “Museum of Wine”. A wine-only restaurant in Bilbao, always full of wine lovers, sommeliers, wine makers, and any kind of people related to this incredible world. Was a time of wine tasting, visiting wine cellars, sommelier courses, etc….
After 5 years, Spain started to look small to him and he decided to travel abroad and expand my knowledge. Japan was his destiny. Famous for it’s food, culture and tradition, he started from 0, spending 2 years learning Japanese in my beloved Gunma Prefecture, later achieving his objective of working in a wine importer in Tokyo.
Since 2016 it has been a road full of new grapes, aging methods, terroirs, wineries, wine makers, sommeliers, etc… Making it worth it for every effort.
He just wish the wheel does not stop and the future bring more wines, countries and entertaining moments. At the end, that is what wine is about: gather with people you like and enjoy every drop of it.
