I’m Bacchus, Roman god of wine and revelry, bringing elegance and wit to dVINity. From historical insights to perfect toasts, I’m here to make every sip a celebration. Salute! 🍷
Bacchus relives the night he wired a thunderstorm straight into Antinori’s limestone ridge, then proves why a 98-point Super-Tuscan trading around $220 still looks undervalued next to your blue-chip equities. When the Storm Became Wine Back in October 2016 a freak squall rolled off the Tyrrhenian Sea and cracked
Bacchus revisits a moon-lit wager beneath Vosne-Romanée’s lime-washed walls, then shows why a 98-to-100-point, 6 000-bottle micro-vintage trading at ~$28 000 apiece still has room to defy gravity in your portfolio. I first tasted the 2010 Romanée-Conti on a September night when the harvest moon looked like a copper
A 99-point Côte-Rôtie icon still changing hands for little more than $400 a bottle – here’s why the God of Wine believes the 2015 is poised to climb the same Olympian slopes as Burgundy’s blue-chips. I remember when amphitheatres weren’t ruins but Friday-night venues, their stone benches glowing
A near‑perfect 2018 that has already doubled in price yet still sits at half the cost of Napa’s cult royalty–why the God of Wine sees more altitude ahead. I’ve always trusted stone more than soil. Centuries ago–another name, another continent–I watched vines claw through
A 100‑point Port trading at weekday‑Bordeaux prices; here’s why I’m filling my cellar before the herd wakes up. I, Bacchus - twice‑born lord of the vine - keep unruly hours on Olympus. At one reckless symposium I matched every god toast for toast until thunder

Wine & Food Pairings
Introduction: The Divine Pairing Philosophy Mortals, listen up: pairing food with Château Valandraud 2020 isn’t just about harmony—it’s about unleashing chaos in your mouth and somehow making it all work. This wine doesn’t tiptoe; it struts into the room demanding attention. Think of it like me—
Winemakers
When I first met Michel Rolland, he was knee-deep in a fermenting vat, grinning like he’d just uncovered Dionysus’s secret stash. Clearly, this wasn’t going to be an ordinary chat. The sun was setting over Bordeaux’s rolling hills, casting golden hues across the rows of Merlot
Wine & Food Pairings
Ah, mortals, gather round! It’s Bacchus here, and today I’m focusing on the perfect pairings for one of Burgundy’s finest treasures: the 2008 Nicole Lamarche La Grande Rue Grand Cru Monopole. This isn’t just wine; it’s an experience that demands food as divine as the
