		<description><![CDATA[Daniel R. Mueller was not planning on purchasing a wine estate initially. In fact, his intention was quite the opposite considering the large percentage of wine farms in South Africa. As an esteemed investment banker with over 25 years’ experience in the industry, having worked in Zurich, New York, and London, Daniel is not one to take risks. Yet when the opportunity arose to purchase De Toren Private Cellar, an award-winning, boutique winery in Stellenbosch, South Africa, he grabbed the chance, recognizing a good thing when he saw it. “Actually, I didn&#8217;t decide to invest in the wine industry! How it all happened, is that my Swiss friend Cedric Nicolas Schweri was informed of an estate for sale in South Africa.
