Wine Pros On The Go

Burgundy doesn't reveal itself all at once—it's understood slowly, through people, seasons, and quiet decisions that shape each vintage. To truly grasp it, you have to step beyond the labels and into the lives of those living among the vines.

Today's guest, Antonin Aidinian, Owner of Clavelin Imports and WSET Diploma Private Tour Guide, does exactly that.

Based in Beaune, Antonin is deeply embedded in Burgundy, working alongside growers and approaching wine as a reflection of place, discipline, and integrity. 

Antonin reads the vineyards like a native language—decoding vintage variation with a per...

In honor of International Women's Day 2026, we had the privilege of sitting down with Atlanta wine visionary Sarah Pierre, founder of 3 Parks Wine. A true icon.

Just as importantly, Sarah has become a mentor to the next generation of wine professionals, generously opening doors and encouraging new voices to find their place in the in...

Born in Calcutta and sharpened in the world's most exacting dining rooms, Parr rose not simply as a sommelier, but as a quiet architect of contemporary wine culture—championing the expressive over the obvious, the site-driven over the showy. Through Sandhi, Domaine de la Côte, and Phelan Farm, he has become one of California's clearest voices for transparency in farming and restraint in the cellar.

His wines feel less manufactured than translated—whispers of limestone, ocean air, and the tensi...
