If cognac had not existed, Peter Dubina would have created it!
A real passion for it, not only appreciating it himself but making it known and promoting it in his Country and elsewhere when he has the opportunity of travelling. Expert from the day a vine is planted to the day he will explain the many ways cognac can be tasted and enjoyed, Peter deserves to be considered as a real Ambassador for the most prestigious spirit in the world.
Jean-Paul CAMUS
The first time I met Peter Dubina, I clearly remember that it was during Vinexpo 2001.
Him and his business partner were in charge of a Cognac Club in Kosice and they were willing to promote Hardy cognac with a condition: that I would come and do the events with them once a year. They were already representing a few other producers and for once, I made an exception as we were not to be exclusive within the club itself. In spite of the fact that I had a lot in my plate with the North American market, I was always looking forward to my next visit to Slovakia because of Peter and his perfect organization.
It took a while for me to accept but Peter was very convincing and I must admit that their concept, Club and magazine TESTUM, was a real success for many producers including Hardy.
Not only was Peter the translator when a producer was coming to Kosice and the other club in Bratislava or The Cognac Gallery in Prague, but I realized very soon that he knew as much as I did about the product, from the production method, the distillation, the aging process and the tasting aspect.
Over the years, Peter has remained true to his love of our region. He is a well of knowledge and has such enthusiasm for cognac that it is dificult to find a better ambassador for our products.
I strongly support his quest to become a cognac educator. He comes from a beautiful country with real cognac lovers and it is such an honor and pleasure to have him as a friend and a representative of our industry.

I first met Peter long time ago. He was already looking for real independent « bouilleurs de cru » these small cognac producers who distill only their own harvest. Peter has developped a astonishing knowledge about cognac world, history and people who work in that sector. Kind of knowledge only passionate people are able of .

I have meet Peter about 14 years ago while I was in charge of Europe at cognac Louis Royer. I have seen a man not only working for importing cognac but a real passionated person. Indeed Peter is an Educator on cognac as he has spent all theses years visiting all the cognac houses not only for tasting ( even I am sure it is a great part) but also to understand the man and woman behind this fantastic nectar which is cognac.
Peter has not only been able to learn the stories and the difference between the houses but also is able to transmit his great knowledge and the soul of our region.
I would like to say to Peter don't change anything, you are an Angel of our angel share.
