In Episode Two of Tastes Like Somewhere, I’m thrilled to sit down with the incredibly talented Juli Carrique — a sommelière originally from Argentina who’s making waves in Denmark’s culinary scene. Currently the owner of an incredibly popular new spot in Copenhagen… Bar Vitrine, and lead sommelière at Barabba, Juli has become a leading voice in one of Copenhagen’s most exciting spaces for food and wine lovers.

Juli’s journey is as fascinating as the wines she pours. Growing up surrounded by Argentina’s bold flavors and rich wine traditions, she developed a deep appreciation for the way food and drink connect us to place and culture. That curiosity eventually led her across the world to Scandinavia, where she’s now carving out her own space in Copenhagen’s ever-evolving culinary landscape.
What makes Juli so special is her gift for storytelling through wine. For her, each bottle carries a sense of place — a connection between people, land, and flavor. In our conversation, she shares how she brings that philosophy to life at the table, turning every pour into an experience.
In this episode, we talk about:
Juli’s path from Argentina to Denmark and the leap that changed everything 🌍
How her heritage shapes the way she approaches wine and hospitality 🍇
Copenhagen’s dynamic food and wine culture — and why it’s such an exciting place right now
The wines she’s loving at the moment (get ready to take notes!) 📝
What it truly means when something “tastes like somewhere”
This episode is an invitation to slow down, sip, and savor. Whether you’re a wine lover, a traveler, or just someone curious about the stories behind the glass, Juli’s passion is contagious — and I can’t wait for you to meet her.
