About

:: A NOBLE EXPERIENCE ::

Noble Rot events have merged wines and winemakers, spirits and tastemakers with chefs, supper clubs, technology, art and music; augmented by improvised and witty discourse.

 

The Noble Rot is a “traveling wine saloon” that was launched in New York City during the summer of 2009 and has since produced experiential events with unique collaborators where wine, spirits and food take the center stage.

:: INSPIRED ::

The Noble Rot was imagined to break the snobbish mold of wine culture and to foster an atmosphere around the tasting and education of wine that mirrored my hopes of how people engage with this wonderful fermented juice. Wine is subjective – do you like what’s in your glass or not? However, wine as a story, a piece of history and the language that defines wine culture is all incredibly fascinating. The best scenario for learning combines an experience that encompasses those elements and presents them to you, simply put, in a fun and unpretentious way. The Noble Rot for me, is the answer to unpretentious wine snobbery.
