About Vinovonk

Where Wine Stories Spark to Life

Wine isn’t just about what’s in the glass – it’s about the sparks of connection that ignite between people, places, and stories. From my base in Amstelveen, Netherlands, I’ve dedicated myself to capturing these moments and sharing them with fellow wine enthusiasts. My journey, which began with a simple passion for wine, has evolved into deep expertise through WSET Level 3 and SDEN3 certifications, bridging technical knowledge with engaging storytelling.

Through “Sparks by VinoVonk,” my video interview series, I bring you face-to-face with the personalities shaping today’s wine world. These intimate 15-minute conversations reveal the human stories behind the bottles – from innovative winemakers to industry visionaries. Each episode ignites new perspectives on wine culture, complementing my written work in prestigious publications like The Story of My Wine, Anne-Wies, and Winelife.

My approach combines traditional wine expertise with dynamic digital storytelling. Whether I’m crafting detailed tasting notes, producing video content, or sharing producer insights, my goal remains consistent: making wine knowledge accessible while maintaining the depth that true enthusiasts crave. Through collaborations with importers and wine magazines, I’ve developed a distinctive voice that resonates across the spectrum of wine lovers – from curious beginners to industry professionals.

What drives me? It’s the moment a winemaker’s eyes light up describing their latest vintage. It’s the shared excitement of discovering an exceptional bottle. It’s the connections formed when wine lovers gather to learn and explore. At VinoVonk.com, you’ll find this passion expressed through:

• In-depth wine reviews and recommendations
