If we had to define Daniel’s work from our experience, it would undoubtedly be efficiency. Our dealings with him have always been fast, clear and, most importantly, well resolved. This is due to his great involvement, and his proximity also helps to achieve optimal results, since the communication and treatment with him are unbeatable.
My experience with Daniel was always positive, energetic, and very cordial. Our relationship began as a professional one, and it is true that it was always a pleasure because, at all times, he was there to help, and fix any situation. This led us to a friendly relationship, and in our case we have lived it in personal, family and professional development since our beginnings. A pleasure and a luxury that I hope will last for another millennium.
We have worked with Daniel for several years, he is a serious and talented person who could make Mark Hollis’ phrase his own: “Before you play three keys you have to learn to play two, and before you play two you have to learn to play one, and before you play one you have to know what you want to say.
I met Daniel González a long time ago, when I was almost young, and he was still very young. He was one of the two or three best sommeliers in Madrid, a guy with whom it was a pleasure to get together to open bottles, and who had what distinguishes the best: a lot of knowledge, but an eagerness to learn even more. When he signed with European Cellars, I thought it was a shame what our hospitality industry was losing, but, at the same time, that the Americans had made a wise choice. I’ve been lucky enough to follow his work first-hand at European Cellars for over a decade, and I can confirm that Daniel is and has always been a first-rate professional.
I’ve known Daniel González for many years, and throughout this time I’ve witnessed his unwavering passion for the world of wine and his incredible professionalism. Not only does Daniel have vast knowledge of the industry, but he also possesses a unique empathy, which allows him to deeply connect with his clients, understanding their needs and visions. He tackles each project with total dedication, providing personalized solutions and seeing to every last detail. It is inspiring to see how his love for wine is reflected in his work, and how he constantly seeks to exceed expectations. Daniel is not only an exceptional consultant, but also a person of integrity with whom it is always a pleasure to collaborate. I can’t recommend him enough for anyone who wants to take their project to the next level in the world of wine.
Daniel is an old acquaintance. My hair is graying, but he’s in top form. I was always surprised by his ability to recognize great wines at a tasting. He knows this industry well, had good teachers and, above all, is restless, always interested in learning from and surrounding himself with the best. Years later, with the experience he gained in the domestic and foreign markets, he has more than demonstrated that his new project is a solid and winning bet. I’ve worked with Dani for many years, since the beginning of the Equipo Navazos project, more than 15 years ago. His mediation was decisive for the ‘La Bota de…’ wines to appear on the lists of successes in the American market.
During this time that we’ve been with Daniel we only have positive words about him and his work. Always engaging, always fast, effective, and, most importantly for us: the human factor, as with the terroir. A person with extensive experience with the best in the industry.
I’ve had the opportunity to work with Daniel for many years, and, right from the beginning, he stood out for his professionalism and human quality. Not only does he have the ability to put himself in his client’s shoes and understand their needs, but his analytical and methodical approach allows him to find appropriate solutions for each situation. His ability to structure and plan in the short, medium and long term are key in his constant search for solid and sustainable results. I recommend Daniel, without any doubt, not only as a professional, but as a person with whom it is a real pleasure to work.
For more than ten years we have worked with Daniel González to bolster our wine sales in the US market through tastings at the winery and drawing on his experience working with the best producers in Spain. He helped us get the profiles of our wines right, taking into account our values, traditions and philosophy of life. He also taught us to understand our target market, based on his professional experience in that country. Patient and clear, Daniel is always forthright, even when that can be upsetting. He tells it like it is, because the truth speaks volumes, and that is what really helps us to improve, to learn from others, and to grow together. In short, he’s someone you can count on!
All these years in which I’ve worked closely with Dani have been a gift to me, thanks to his professional spirit and contagious enthusiasm. It’s not easy to find people with clear ideas and with a full command of the wine universe like his, from the roots all the way to the consumer.
