A Brief History, Recorded with Complete Historical Accuracy
(Except Where a Better Story Presented Itself)
The official position of the Fraternité remains unchanged.
Life is too short to drink bad wine.
Most organizations begin with a mission statement.
Fraternité du Vin began with a corkscrew.
.
Every enduring tradition begins somewhere.
Fraternité du Vin began when someone finally stopped saying, "We really ought to get together more often," and opened the good bottle.
The experiment exceeded expectations.
Fraternité du Vin exists for a simple purpose: to gather friends around remarkable wines, thoughtful food, and conversations that improve with every pour.
We have never claimed to solve the world's problems.
We simply observe that most of them become considerably easier to discuss after the cork has been removed.
Every gathering adds another page to our history.
Every bottle contributes another story.
