About Stig Rognstad

Statement from mr. Rognstad

Stig A. Rognstad
My passion for wine took off in the mid 80’s after visiting the classic French vineyards. When I first tasted a great wine, it allured me so much, I wanted to know how this magic beverage could express so much, display so much diversity, complexity and longevity, I wanted to know everything. My hunger, or rather thirst for knowledge, led me to very intense studies and I graduated as sommelier at NSU in 2008. Before and after graduation, I owned my own 1 star Michelin star restaurant in Oslo Le Canard for 5 years. Today my main job are Norse Securities and writing wine articles.

Requirements for travel

I strive to read up and be well prepared for the visit and experience shows that the flow of information before a trip is very important. I will need the programme for the visit no later than 14 days before departure.
Program to contain travel times, places, hotels, relevant telephonenumbers and list of names of the producers to visit and lists of wines to be tasted. This information is often used in the article also and should be accurate.
In the programme, please allow for photo time in connection with sunrise/sunset. All images are made available to you afterwards. Please check Wifi in all places we are. We need passwords etc.

Name on the ticket should read: Stig Andre Rognstad
