Stefan Sedlmeyr is the co-proprietor of the Munich Wine Company. He deals with wine for decades and loves Champagne. Ralph Wendlandt works for the Munich Wine Company and collected nearly 19000 degustation notes in the last 28 years. His favorite wine region is Piedmont. Daniel Berr, also MWC-employee,  has a past as an honorary editor for a Munich Wine and Food Magazine. The northern Rhone is his favorite wine region.

We are often asked for recommendations or what we drink privately. So we are trying to give you the answer here.

A lot of tastings are done by Stefan, Daniel and Ralph after a long working day, when the evening also gets long. That's the reason why this site is called long evenings.

None of the tastings are paid for by anyone or compensated in any other way. All the wines come from our private cellars and we limit ourselves to a positive selection. We try to be as objective as possible. Our wine scoring system is the 20 points system which is very popular in Europe. A good explanation of the 20 points system is from Rene Gabriel.
