The Society started with a group of thirteen men who were either engaged in the industry or passionate consumers, who met regularly at Hosies Hotel to talk about wine, food and the industry. The purpose and the sentiment of the Society was based on the “Wine and Food Society” of London which had been established three years previously by Andre Simon.
