Bosch Paula

The German sommelière, wine author and wine critic Paula Bosch (*1956) trained as a restaurant specialist at the Hotel Vorfelder in Walldorf near Heidelberg. At the Leimeister wine tavern in Königstein im Taunus, her work focused on wine consulting, which earned her the reputation of being the first (female) sommelière in Germany. From 1981 she was head sommelière at the Hotel Inter-Continental in Cologne and from 1985 to 1991 at the Restaurant Victorian in Düsseldorf. In 1988 she was awarded the title "Sommelier of the Year" by Gault Millau for the first time. Finally, from 1991 to 2011 she was engaged by the Tantris Restaurant in Munich, which was initially awarded three stars, and was responsible for the wine cellar with 35,000 bottles.

In June 2011, Bosch became self-employed as a freelance wine consultant. She was author of several wine books such as "Weingenuss" and "100 Wine Tips from Germany's No. 1 Sommelière", as well as co-author of "Küchengeheimnisse & Weinentdeckungen" with Eckart Witzigmann. Between 1996 and 2003 she wrote weekly columns for the magazine of the Süddeutsche Zeitung, writes regularly for wine and gourmet magazines and is a wine commentator for the Bayerischer Rundfunk. In 2007 she received the Bacchus Prize and in 2016 the Steinfeder Prize, donated by the Vinea Wachau Nobilis Districtus.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
