Alex, the founder of Wine Scholars, is a passionate wine enthusiast who has spent years exploring the world of wine—from the vineyards of California to the wine regions of Europe and beyond. With a deep curiosity for both the science and art of wine, Alex createdWine Scholars to bring together like-minded individuals who share a love for tasting, learning, and appreciating wine in a fun and educational setting.
After years of hosting casual wine tastings and traveling with Michelle, founder of The WineTastic Weekend, Alex talked his friends into joining a more immersive and interactive wine community. He wanted to create a space for all levels of wine enthusiasts where fun was at the center of the learning experience.
That vision led to the creation of Wine Scholars, a blind wine-tasting group based in Carmel, California. Alex’s purpose was simple: to offer a platform where individuals—whether novice or expert—could come together to explore and discover wines through blind tasting. The group’s focus is not just on enjoying good wine, but on cultivating a deeper understanding of its complexity. By tasting wines without knowing their origin or varietal, members are encouraged to rely solely on their senses and instincts, honing their skills and expanding their palates.
Under Alex’s guidance, Wine Scholars has become more than just a tasting group; it’s a community of wine lovers who gather monthly to explore different regions, varietals, and wine styles. The group also fosters a sense of camaraderie, as members engage in friendly debates, share knowledge, and learn from one another. Alex believes that wine is best enjoyed when shared with others, and through Wine Scholars, he has built a space where people can bond over their shared love of wine and the joy of discovery.
Through Wine Scholars, Alex continues to inspire others to embrace the beauty and complexity of wine, while cultivating a sense of community that celebrates both the knowledge and joy of wine.
