David grew up in a family tavern, where from a young age he learned the art of serving customers, the value of home-cooked food and closely observed human behaviour around the table. Between breakfasts, lunches and dinners, he witnessed celebrations for a goal, the lament of a relegation, courtship, fights and the end of many love stories. Then, he saw his father die. He specialised in the world of wine, becoming the best, working in the best restaurant in the world. He founded a wine production and consultancy company, wrote a book. All this, while dealing with his alcoholism and the consumption of other substances. David is a number one, an extraordinary example of how life can be transformed. When I met him, I couldn’t help but ask him: “How do you taste wines? Do you spit?” And he, without hesitation, replied: “I spit.” That’s David, the best sommelier in Spain, and a recovering addict.
