I have traveled thousands of kilometers in my life, been up to my knees in grape juice in New Zealand, talked shop with Bono and The Edge about Bordeaux in Dublin, studied wine business in the Rheingau, traded in the most expensive drops in London, and canvassed (almost) every winery in California.

Today, I run the innovative online trading company baumselection.com, which imports artisanal wines  and distributes them throughout Germany. I'm always on the lookout for the next great discovery. In 2015, I became the youngest ever German Master of Wine and in 2019, I was named one of the 50 greatest talents in the wine world and awarded the WSET & IWSC Future 50 Award.

My mission is to make sure that "the world tastes better" - to shape the choice of wines in retail and gastronomy and to improve people's ability to taste and appreciate wine.
