  작가 소개

지은이 : Romanee 24
대학에서 경영학을 전공, 졸업 후에는 금융권 펀드 매니저를 거쳐, 현재는 투자회사를 운영하고 있다.대학 2학년 때부터 동경해 왔던 여의도 고층빌딩에서 직장생활을 처음 시작하게 된 날. 벅찬 설렘을 가지고 여의도역을 지날 때의 기억이 아직도 생생하다고 한다. 어느덧 만 20년이 넘었으니, 천직임이 분명하며, 대학 등록금이 아깝지는 않은 셈이다.저자의 와인 경력은 직장 경력보다는 약 3년 정도 짧다. 하지만, 이 중 절반은 허송세월로 보냈으나, 최근 몇 년 사이에 와인에 대한 생각과 태도에 있어 큰 변화를 겪게 되었다. 마시기만 좋아하던 주당이 이론부터 테이스팅까지 본격적으로 공부하면서 덕후를 뛰어넘어 진정한 와인러버가 되었고, 앞으로도 평생 배우고 경험하며 즐기려고 한다.“일하는 사람과 와인에는 한 가지 공통점이 있다.”성실하게 일하고, 꾸준히 자기 개발을 하며, 적절한 긴장감을 유지하고, 세상의 변화에 늘 귀 기울이며, 주변 사람들과의 관계 설정에 있어 늘 노력하는 사람은 와인으로 비유하자면 天地人을 갖춘 사람이라 할 수 있다.10년, 20년, 30년이 지나야 진정한 와인의 맛을 경험할 수 있듯이 그 사람도 시간이 지나면서 완숙된 숙성 풍미를 서서히 풍기기 때문이다.
