History:
Mr. Robert Gourdin, known around the world as Monsieur Dom Perignon, founded Friends of Wine and Spirits in 1964. Since then, the society has grown considerably from its humble beginnings in the back of a wine shop and has graduated from cheese and crackers to full course meals at various acclaimed restaurants and now hosts exciting wine tasting events throughout the US and Europe.
Today his grandson Christian Robert Gourdin, a third generation family member in the wine industry, has taken Friends high-tech.

The various formats are as follows:
Wine Dinner: A typical Friends of Wine dinner consists of a six-course meal where each dish is perfectly paired to a specific wine. Our goal is to introduce you to various wines complimenting an extraordinary meal. A guest speaker is on hand to walk you through the evening.
Events typically begin at 6:00 pm and are last two hours. To encourage discussion and introduce you to new friends you’ll be seated at a table between four to six people.

Wine Tasting Events:
These events give you the opportunity to attend a sit down lecture all the while sampling as many as a dozen products. Bread and cheese are served to cleanse the palate. These tasting experiences are open to both novice and experts. Learn all about a single winery or a single grape – also known as a horizontal tasting. Perhaps the focus will be on a single vintage – these events are known as vertical tasting.
Meet personalities in the business, like famous wine makers or wine writers.
Larger tasting events fall into the category of festivals. These events feature hundreds of wine, spirits and food, lasting several hours or over the course of a weekend.
