Chateau d’Yquem 1971: “So good you don't want to swallow it.” Click on the link “The roots” above to read more about its foundational role in the wine salon.

Learn about wine by bringing its far-reaching and wondrous world home.

By charting a wine group’s 12-year adventure across vintage, variety and terroir, In Search of the Divine Bottle: Educating Your Palate with the Best proposes that educating your palate not only elevates your wine tasting pleasure — it can also enrich your life, through the increase in confidence you get from having greater wine knowledge, and expand your personal horizons of time, place, community, civility and self.

The book chronicles more than a decade of events at which some 500 bottles were tasted to show how these tasting experiences expanded the group’s world.

Buy the book, start an In Search of the Divine Bottle group, or join the virtual or face-to-face book wine club and educate your palate as you educate your heart — and have great fun while doing it.
