A RARE ALIGNMENT
"As one of the most highly coveted and sought-after accomplishments in the hospitality industry, the Master Sommelier title signifies a tremendous amount of wine knowledge and an unparalleled sense of discipline and dedication. Many people refer to the Master Sommelier Exam as the hardest exam in the world, and passing is often regarded as an achievement of a lifetime."
"Becoming a Master Sommelier is a long and rigorous journey that typically takes several years of dedicated effort, extensive study, and practical experience in the wine and hospitality industry.
On average, it can take 5 to 10 years, or even longer."
~ Court of Master Sommeliers ~
Vine Society is guided by the rare insight of three Master Sommeliers -- a title held by fewer than 300 worldwide since its inception in 1969.

ACCOLADES AND APPRECIATION
FIRST CITIZENS BANK
Client: Denise L. Cole, SVP
Audience: Key Strategic Accounts
Objective: Relationship Building
“Vine Society coordinated a fantastic virtual wine event for our clients! The Sommelier, one of 270 Master Sommeliers in the world, hosted our blind tasting event providing expert insight into the complexity of wine and how region, grape varietal, and weather affect the wine. It is difficult to make a virtual event interactive, but each one of our clients was engaged and enjoyed the event from the comfort of their homes! I highly recommend Vine Society to coordinate your Virtual Wine tasting for your groups!”

K&L GATES L.L.P.
Client: Benay Lizarazu, Partner
Audience: MetLife and Prudential Executives, New York
Objective: Business Development
“For anyone looking for virtual Business Development event ideas, I’d like to recommend Vine Society, a Davidson, NC based platform and community for wine enthusiasts. In lieu of an in-person closing dinner, we hosted a virtual “blind” wine tasting event with 12 participants, led by a Vine Society master sommelier (one of only 274 in the world). It was very informative and enjoyed by both wine newbies and true enthusiasts, young and old(ish).”

SHOOK, HARDY & BACON L.L.P.
Client: Alfred Saikali, Chair Privacy & Data Security Practice
Audience: In House Corporate Counsel of Large Florida Corporations
Objective: Business Development & Client Engagement
“The Vine Society’s blind tasting event for our clients was fantastic! It gave us a nice opportunity to develop and deepen relationships in a casual setting, with people who are important to the success of our business. From the outset, I was impressed with how Vine Society took over the process of ensuring that every attendee had the necessary wine hand-delivered well in advance of the event. The event itself was well-organized and the format allowed the group to interact and get to know each other much better. Our clients had fun trying to guess and rate the different wines and we all learned so much from the Master Sommelier who balanced education with everyone having a good time. People are already asking when we’ll organize another one. We look forward to working with Vine Society to organize similar events in the future.”
