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 perspective that is both global and profoundly local. On this episode of Wine Pros on the Go, we discuss proximity, philosophy, and the responsibility of carrying these stories beyond the vineyards. This is Burgundy, with Antonin Aidinian.Wine Pros on the Go is Based out of Atlanta, GA.#wineprosonthego #wineeducation #winetasting @eau_du_vin

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.Through 3 Parks Wine Shop, Sarah has reimagined how people gather around the glass — creating spaces where hospitality, culture, and education meet. Her work dissolves intimidation while preserving reverence for craft, reminding us that wine at its best is not about prestige, but connection. 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 industry.We explore Sarah's philosophy on building inclusive wine communities, shaping Atlanta's evolving wine culture, and balancing tradition with accessibility. Today, we're grateful to step into the inspiring world of Sarah Pierre. Wine Pros on the Go is based out of Atlanta, GA.#wineprosonthego #wineeducation #winetasting @eau_du_vin

If there is a modern philosopher-winemaker who bridges reverence and rebellion, it is Rajat Parr.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 tensile edge of coastal light.On this episode of Wine Pros on the Go, we talk about place, purity, and the discipline of listening. Because the best wines are not built. They are revealed. This is Rajat Parr.Wine Pros on the Go is based out of Atlanta, GA.#wineprosonthego #wineeducation #winetasting @eau_du_vin
