In 2008 I bought what was then a run-of-the-mill neighborhood convenience store with the objective of turning it into a wine store and delicatessen. Ten years later, when I left, Bodega Bonavista was an undeniable benchmark in Barcelona for quality wine, cheese, cured meats and other delicatessen, both to enjoy there and to go.
In Spring 2018 I decided that the time had come to move on and dedicate myself completely to my new business: Wine Secrets Barcelona. During my time at Bodega Bonavista I learned a tremendous amount about Spanish wines and formed an extensive network of contacts among Spanish wine makers, enologists and other people in the wine sector. At the same time I became aware of the impression that many people in other countries have of Spanish wine as being heavily oaked and one-dimensional. An impression that is very far from reality. An impression that I want to help change.
