MY STORY
WITH PASSION FOR GOOD WINES
"It’s a beautiful yet weighty responsibility when one makes blending decisions. Not only do you need to consider the aging process but the style of the house and their brand, too… The master blender is able to make each unique quality of any given vintage work in harmony so as to create a blend that is superior to its individual ingredients.
Hence my motto: “Blending, a beautiful battle of barrels”!"

Ide egy rövid idézet kerülne egy borászattól, konkrét embertől, akinek dolgoztál, dolgozol. Jó ha leírják, miben vagy kiemelkedő.
Csernus Károly, borász, Pivnica Csenus
Laci megmutatta az utat, hogyan lehet sikeres egy kis felvidéki családi pincészet a „nagyvilágban".
Bányai Gábor Botond, főszerkesztő, BORIGÓ magazin
Bálint Laci a BORIGO történetének legprofibb szakírója. Pontossága, szaktudása, teszt tapasztalata olyan érték a magazin számára, ami nem is igazán pótolható.
Pajzos Winery
As a consultant, his empathy and humility in learning
about client issues is reassuring. He is not one for hurried solutions;
instead, he evaluates with precision and executes in confidence.
Rare is the wine professional who tastes with an eye to the consumer
market yet dispenses vineyard and cellar advice imbued with pure
proficiency. He’s a good man, and we are lucky to work with him.
Laurent Comas

Pivnica Csernus
Success arrived to our winery as a result of Laci Bálint’s guidance. We now export our bottles to Europe and overseas, scaffolded by Laci’s business acumen. Laci’s expertise illuminated the path to victory for our little family winery here in Slovakia, and we’re thrilled to partner with him.
Karoly Csernus
wine-maker
Creatura Wine
He’s a wine guru of sorts; collaborating with him has been an opportunity
for learning and growth. He’s a uniquely effective collaborator, shining a
broad scope of international attention on our indigenous varietals. We love
working with him because he considers the scope and requirements of his
clients (in reality, clients who all become friends)…

FRIEND OR FOE?
- Why would an experienced winemaking team need assistance from an external advisor? -
A wine consultant is able to offer new perspectives.
And beyond that, a good consultant understands wine globally and locally, has a finger on the pulse of past and current trends, and is a wine trade expert with a keen understanding of desired target markets. An excellent consultant is a savvy viticulturist and winemaker, always working to elevate partner wineries in collaboration with staff. The wine consultant and the winemaker together create an effective team based on mutual respect and humility, balancing each other’s work in crafting wines to best meet market and consumer demands.
