The world of wine means almost everything to me: my passion, my job, it stimulates my creativity and it feeds my constant need for new things. I started by specializing myself in Italian and French wines, realizing quite late that I knew very little things about the Romanian wines. Exploring the values at home, I began to discover the huge potential of the Romanian variety of grapes, the universe so personal whilst full of nuances of the Romanian viticulture and my desire grew
to develop projects that encourage the evolution of the quality of local wines, to raise their awareness and their recognition worldwide.
I have visited almost all the wine cellars and vineyards from both countries, I have tested almost 3,000 wines and I have made a selection of 250. In this volume I have described and classified 214 wines. A total of 58 wine cellars and wineries have been evaluated in Romania and 14 in the Republic of Moldova.

Ardelean, The Wine Book of Romania’s author and the jury’s president, said: “For me, The Wine Book of Romania represents, besides a great responsibility, a commitment to the wine industry and wine producers in Romania. Working on the second volume, I was glad to see a remarkable increase in the quality of the evaluated wines. For example, last year only a 100% Fetească Neagră wine obtained 5 stars. This year, four 100% Feteasca Neagră wines, out of a total of 15 wines, earned 5 stars. I invite you to discover the excellence of Romanian wines in the second volume The Wine Book of Romania!”. The official launch of the second volume was made in May 2017, during the second edition of RO-Wine Festival | The Wine Festival of Romania. Here, was made also the judging of wines for The Wine Book of Romania’s third volume.
