About

Wine is like no other beverage. It has history, it has romance, it has mystique, it has respect. And no matter how much you study and no matter how much you learn, there is always more to absorb. In fact, the pure value of a good glass of wine can be discussed, debated, memorized and dissected….but the true value; the way it makes one feel cannot be understood. There is something ethereal about wine…something indescribable.

The pursuit of knowledge of wine should be a collective pursuit. The experience and discussion of wine can be at all levels of intellect, experience and desire. In other words, one does not need to be an expert in Burgundy to have a conversation of Burgundy…one can listen and learn while engaging in a glass with others that may have more experience. One does not have to spend $500/bottle on a First Growth Bordeaux to get a glimpse of the true value of a good glass of Bordeaux. One thing for sure….you can only read about wine so much; without tasting wine in the company of others who have the same passion to learn, it is surely fruitless education . The mission of Les Amis Du Vin is to provide the platform in which anyone can participate, learn and come to respect a properly made glass of wine.
