'Poured from Paris' Vintner Tasting with Paris Wine Company TICKET - Thursday, June 18, 2026 @ 6 PM

Some importers build portfolios around names the market already knows. Paris Wine Company built theirs around farmers -- vignerons who grow their own grapes, work organically, and make wine with the kind of honesty that tends to get overlooked until suddenly it doesn't. On June 18, we're pouring five to six wines from across their portfolio and making the case for the names that belong on your radar.

Event Snapshot:

• Date: Thursday, June 18, 2026
• Time: 6 to 7:30 pm
• Location: Petit Philippe, 4001 Park Road, Charlotte, NC
• Format: Guided tasting with hosted pours and commentary
• Wines: Five to six selections from the Paris Wine Company portfolio; full lineup announced shortly
• Tickets: $60 per person

The Experience:

The evening is structured as a guided tasting -- not a lecture, not a speed round, but a proper sit-in-one-place-and-pay-attention hour and a half that covers meaningful range. Wines are being selected from across the Paris Wine Company portfolio, with a focus on the producers and regions where the value-to-quality gap is most worth knowing about right now. Beaujolais from farmers working old vines. Whites from Burgundy's less-shouted appellations. Northern Rhône reds that belong in your cellar before the rest of the market catches on.

Our team will walk each wine, but the evening is designed for questions and conversation as much as it is for tasting.

Featured Wines:

Final lineup TBD -- check back as we lock selections. We're building the evening from producers including:

• Domaine Rougeot (Burgundy) -- Father-and-son estate in Meursault, farming organically across some of the Côte d'Or's best addresses
• Julien Cecillon (Northern Rhône) -- Saint-Joseph from a Rhône native working without the appellation's usual commercial weight behind him
• Yann Bertrand (Beaujolais) -- Fleurie Vieilles Vignes from one of the appellation's most compelling young voices
• Domaine Bonnet-Cotton (Beaujolais) -- Côte de Brouilly with the kind of depth that makes a case for Beaujolais beyond Gamay shorthand
• Hauts Baigneux (Loire) -- Chenin Blanc from the Anjou, clean and serious
• Passerine (Champagne region) -- Brut Blanc de Blancs NV to open

Full confirmed lineup and tasting notes will be posted once finalized.

About Paris Wine Company:

Paris Wine Company was founded in 2012 by Joshua Adler, an American who learned wine the old-fashioned way -- in 18th-century cellars in Burgundy, then as wine director at Bi-Rite Market in San Francisco and Restaurant Spring in Paris. He built the company around a specific idea: that the most exciting wine in France was coming from farmers, not brands, and that those farmers deserved a direct line to the people who would appreciate them.

Josh passed away in 2022. His team has carried the work forward with the same philosophy -- organic and biodynamic farming, hand harvest, native yeast, minimal intervention -- and a portfolio that now spans more than 70 producers across France. The wines they represent share a quality that's easier to taste than to describe: energy, purity, and a sense of place that holds up across the table.

Why We're Excited:

The Paris Wine Company portfolio is one we've been wanting to pour as a dedicated evening for a while. These are wines we bring in for a reason -- because they make the case for French wine without leaning on the obvious names, and because the quality-to-price relationship at this tier rewards the people paying attention. If you drink seriously and you're still filling out your map of what's out there, this is a good evening for it.
