Play Video

LISTEN ON:

One of the chefs who played an important role in reviving Romanian gastronomy, Radu Dumitrescu joins Marinela Ardelean for a conversation about what Romanian winemakers are doing well (and what they still aren’t), the roots of his passion, taste and management philosophies, and pricing strategies in the HoReCa market.

From the Interview:
It’s a good time to start doing things; step by step, we also have someone to do them for.
Of all I do, I most enjoy drinking bubbles.
Inspiration comes from everyone you meet.
Romanian wine is going through its best period since the Revolution.
Romanian wine has improved in quality, but unfortunately, prices have also increased.
We have a marketing problem — no one is marketing wine properly.
