MS: Selecting wine depends very much on the occasion. When do you like to drink wine? On its own / with a meal / alone / with company?

DL: I’m a red wine lover. I love to have a glass with my wife or with my friends.

MS: Are there any wines that you particularly like and would recommend to our readers? Or maybe you have your favorite pairings with the food you mentioned before?

DL: My taste changed a bit. I started with Australian reds couple years ago and then shift to California reds where Zinfandel is my favorite. But now, I’m quite into Italian wines. I like medium range which is why I find French wines a bit too light for me.
