I'm Levy Dalton and this is all drink to that where we get behind the scenes of the wine business. Oh, Gernot Coleman of Emmick Beteriberg in the Mosel on the show today.

Hello, sir, how are you?

Oh, hello.

Yes, I'm fine. Nice to have you here. Yeah, thank you. So you were originally working in hospitals?

No, no, not directly. My first idea was to study medicine.

So I started also to work in hospitals, but then I turned the right way in the wine business.

And it kind of started more as a hobby. Yeah, it was first it was a hobby and then it's rising and rising and so no time was left for other things. And so on the beginning of the 19s, 91, 92, I started with an internship at Dr. Rosenbinery.

What was that like?

Yeah, it was a very good time there, you know, knowing many new people there around. It was a little bit in this time at the beginning of the

90s was a little bit of a hotspot of the Muse of the Muse of the

Valley of course there was a very good development of the lozen

winery with low yields and and yeah very concentrated more concentrated wine than most of the other producer and yeah it was interesting

place to be there at this time and then you did some other work Stages at other wineries and he ended up at Van Vauxham for about four

vauxham up together with Roman from between 2000 and I was from the first day so the first

general of 2000 up to up to the July of 2004 and that must have been a little bit more of a

boutique operation a little smaller scale than Dr. Lozen in terms of the

winery size.

When I was at Dr. Losen it was very small.

Is that true?

Yeah, yeah, it was was only I think it was only nine and a half hectares and nothing like Dr

L stuff or something like this. Oh that hadn't happened yet. Yeah it was was

only but it was a boutique, boutique, boutique
