About "ME" and "US"
This project grew out of a long-standing passion for red Bordeaux and the culture surrounding great wine.
As Socrates famously said, “The only thing I know is that I know nothing.” Wine has a way of reinforcing that idea. The deeper you go, the more you realize how much nuance, history, and subjectivity the subject contains.

This project grew out of a long-standing passion for red Bordeaux and the culture surrounding great wine.
As Socrates famously said, “The only thing I know is that I know nothing.” Wine has a way of reinforcing that idea. The deeper you go, the more you realize how much nuance, history, and subjectivity the subject contains.
My perspective comes from direct experience: visiting wineries, owning a wine bar, organizing tastings, and spending time with winemakers, collectors, amateurs, and industry professionals on both sides of the Atlantic.
I organize private wine events, mostly centered around French wines, with a particular focus on Bordeaux. Some are casual, some more technical, often with guest contributors from the industry, but always designed around sharing knowledge, perspective, and good bottles.
I also publish a newsletter featuring short reflections and observations about wine, Bordeaux, and the market. You can subscribe here.

While we have strong ties with the industry, and to the contrary of some, we purchase the wine for the event,. Our selection is based on what we believe is best, and not on what a given distributor wants to move.
We host private events on demand. Please email me.
