Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Guillaume Manuelle. I assumed "Guillaume"might be a bit too much for people to remember for a website address, therefore, I decided on the name "G's Wine Club". I founded G's Wine Club in New York City as a logical continuation of my life-long passion for wine and my interest in sharing my experiences and interests with fellow wine lovers. I invite you to join me.
I grew up in Paris and have been entranced by the celebration and exploration of wine tasting and wine making from a young age. I remember long walks with my grandfather in the country, sampling various flowers, etc. They served both as wonderful memories of youth and close family ties as well as forming a strong foundation of scent identification skills that continue to serve me well to this day. Though a native of France, my interests have led me to live overseas for the past 7 years. As such, in addition to family interests in French wineries, I have been involved in various wine clubs around the world and have paid special visits to wineries whenever I had the time...and many times even when I did not. Wine is fascinating in that there is so much to learn that a lifetime will not yield a complete knowledge; however, a lifetime of pursuing such full knowledge will surely be an enjoyable one. This is my plan.

I invite you to join myself and the other members of the club to meet other wine lovers, share experiences and last but not least, to learn and to taste some fantastic wines.
