The fabulous world of FabstWines

The tagline for the Mom Life in Luxembourg podcast is: From creches to crémant, we’re covering everything you need to know about raising kids and living your best life in the Grand Duchy. I take that tagline very seriously. We have done a lot of episodes dedicated to raising kids, but today, my friends, we are going to focus on the “crémant” aspect of living our lives in the Grand Duchy.

This week I had to bring a guest co-host to the pod. I am joined by Ms. Meredith Moss of The Sam Steen Show to help me interview our next guest, Fabienne Stanitz. Fabienne is the creator and founder of the award winning new wine platform, FabstWines. If you're a wine enthusiast like me, you're in for a treat with this episode.

Fabienne's story is truly inspiring. From experiencing the hospitality industry in Germany, Switzerland, and Dubai, she found her way to Luxembourg with a remarkable vision: to connect winemakers and wine lovers, all while growing local community connections through shared tastes and rich histories.

FabstWines is more than just a platform; it’s a wine adventure waiting to happen. Imagine a "vineyard-to-table" experience, but the “table” can be out and about here in Luxembourg, or in the privacy of your own home. Through the platform, you can learn about the unique personalities behind the wine labels and uncover the stories that give these wines soul.

One of my favorite parts of the episode is when the three of us play her wine tasting game. Fabienne brought in a local crémant from the Jeff Konsbruck vineyard, and through the interactive platform we got to go through a tasting experience just like we were at the winery. I am on the fence if I should tell you who got the highest score. Do you think either Meredith or I could beat a certified sommelier? Well, you’ll have to tune in to find out!

We also touched on significant upcoming wine events in Luxembourg, like the Riesling Open and the Fête des Vins et Crémants. These events provide fantastic opportunities to engage with local wine culture and taste some of the finest offerings Luxembourg has in store.

Whether you're passionate about wine, interested in entrepreneurship, or just looking to spice up your routine, this episode is for you. Fabienne’s passion is injecting new life into the local wine scene, and I’m excited to share her journey with you.

Please give it a listen and let me know what you think. If you want to learn more about Fabienne or FabstWines, please visit www.fabstwines.com or find them on Instagram @fabstwines.
