Rhoneblut: Mrs. Camenisch, how long have you been a customer of Albert Mathier & Sons?
Nadine Camenisch: I have been buying wine from Albert Mathier for three years.
RB: How did you become aware of our wines?
NC: I was interested in wine from Switzerland and Valais. During my research on the Internet, I came across Albert Mathier & Sons. The
Website appealed to me very much, and as a result I made my first order.
RB: Please tell us your favorite(s) from our range?
NC: My red wine favorite is the Rhoneblut®, among the whites I love the Parkwein®. But I also try something new every now and then.
RB: Apart from the Upper Valais, what other wine provenances and varieties do you particularly like?
NC: I love to cook, so I’m always looking for a wine to accompany, accompany, or crown the food. Provenances that particularly appeal to me are the Upper Valais, Ticino, the Bordeaux region and, of course, bella Italia.
RB: How, where and when do you prefer to enjoy wine?
NC: In summer, I like to drink a sparkling or fruity white wine with an aperitif; in winter, I prefer deep reds with a hearty meal. And whenever there is something to celebrate, a sparkling wine is simply part of the toast to the occasion in question.
RB: Do your wine preferences vary by season? And if so, how?
NC: As I mentioned, in summer I prefer the fruity and light varieties to the dark heavy ones, which I enjoy very much in winter in front of the fireplace.
RB: How and where do you find out about wines, novelties and news?
NC: I regularly receive the Rhoneblut newsletter from Albert Mathier & Söhne AG, otherwise I like to surf the Internet.
RB: Are wine ratings (Parker points, Weinwisser, Michael Broadbent and the like) relevant to you?
NC: Certainly the points are signposts for the quality of a wine. In the end, however, I think that wine preferences are similar to art. Either you like it or you don’t. Regardless of what others think about it.
RB: In a nutshell, why do you buy wine from us?
NC: I think the wine is quite simply excellent. It meets my taste. I also had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Amédée Mathier personally. He is a winemaker with heart and soul, and it shows in his products. He knows how to make delicious wine.
