Guido Keller fulfilled his dream twelve years ago with his
wine trade and started a second professional life. Before starting his own
business, he had a solid job, but something was missing …
Keller does not know how many wine bottles are waiting for
connoisseurs. "There are around 130 varieties," he says. "But
how many bottles, no idea." What is much more important for the 65-year-old
Degerlocher: he knows a story for every wine. Because he knows many of the
winegrowers personally, he can tell how things are at each winery. "I love
wines from the niche of small family businesses," he says.
Guido Keller has owned his beret for twelve years. It
doesn't matter where you meet him, he has it on his head. And there is a little
story about that too. It is about a wine trip to Italy 12 years ago: the owner
of a winery - also called Guido - wore a beret and put it on him.
Since then,
the beret has grown on Guido. In the morning, when he leaves the house, he
pulls it up and puts on his clef earring - "and then I'm the Guido".
Guido Keller laughs. "I'm just a guy who likes something
extravagant." He also says of himself: "I've always been a
connoisseur."
