About me

My name is Cosmin Grozea and I work in the financial industry for over 10 years and graduated the Wine & Spirits Education Trust (WSET) Level 3 in November 2013.

I am a curator for the main important Romanian auction house: Artmark, for the Wines department.

I discovered my passion for wine a few years ago and I am in a continuous exploration to expand my palate. Over the last years, I had the chance to visit numerous wineries and wine regions in France, Italy, Greece, Spain and Romania, and attended wine fairs in Romania, Vinitaly and Vinexpo. You can easily find my trip impressions browsing this blog. I regularly participate as a jury member to different important wine contests in Romania.

I organize private and corporate Wine events and thematic Wine dinners in Bucharest, Romania. I am an investor in wine and I also structure portfolios of wines as an alternative financial placement for clients. I am a wine journalist and publish articles regularly in the main wine related magazines in Romania. Some of my articles can be viewed below:

I had a collaboration in 2013 with Mediafax on a series of video episodes about wine: tasting wine, interviewing winemakers and other people in the wine business, and generally speaking a show that gravitates around this noble drink. I am a wine columnist for the http://www.unvinpezi.ro project. Some of these episodes are available and can be watched here:
