About me
I drink for a living. Founder of THEVIINITV.COM, blogger, human spittoon, frequent flyer, trouble maker. Co-creator of my son Erik. Made in Finland.
“…Very intelligent and with a great will to learn but also to work. Always ready for action and dedication. Living in a new era he seems to be breaking certain rules and particularly to be opening new ways for wine. Very good taster and having a great respect for quality he could well be very influential in the near future. It is a pleasure to be friends with Ilkka.”
-Dirk Niepoort, Niepoort Vinhos
“Ilkka “Youtube” Sirén has passionate interest to understand wine’s origin, production and people behind, which has taken him around the world to strange destinations. For a young dude he has gathered amazingly strong network of contacts and broad knowledge. Famous in Finland already, soon worldwide I hope.”
-Tuomas Meriluoto MW, Winestate
“…he has a flair for winemaking and I’m of the opinion that his will be a recognised name in the world of wine in the not too distant future.”
-Marc Kent, Boekenhoutskloof
“I love Ilkka.”
-Ricardo Pérez Palacios, Descendientes de J. Palacios
“Ilkka is pushing the envelope in the best direction for the wineworld in Finland. Drink less and better. He demonstrates clearly that drinking wine and having fun at the same time is possible. He encourages people that of the most civilized beverages in the world doesn’t have to be a myth for the average person anymore.”
-Hendrik Thoma MS, Tvino
“A young man bustling with energy, oozing passion, relentless curiosity all tightly knitted into a Finnish delight.”
-Hans Vinding-Diers, Bodega Noemia de Patagonia
