WINE TASTING
The best way to learn about wine? By tasting and talking about it. Which white do you prefer? which red would go best with your favorite food? Let’s find out!
WINE EDUCATION
Let’s go beyond tasting to get a deeper understanding of wine, how it is made, what impacts its qualities, its character or keeping potential? Let’s become a better wine connoisseur.
WINE CELLAR MANAGEMENT
Whether it is a corner in your kitchen, a small space in your basement or a wine cellaring appliance, I will work with you to create a wine collection that matches your needs, your personality and your budget.
THE GRAPEVINE
I am honored to be the wine columnist for Edible Berkshires Magazine, the premier food magazine in Western Massachusetts.



Philippe Jeanjean is from a small village near Montpellier, nestled in the picturesque Languedoc-Roussillon, in the south of France. His family roots trace back generations to this wine region. Growing up amidst vineyards, grape harvesting, and the art of winemaking, he developed a profound appreciation for the local gastronomy. Philippe has an MBA from Babson College and worked with Hewlett Packard for over 20 years as an engineer. He is a Level 3 (with honors) WSET Certified Sommelier from the prestigious Ecole Des Vins et Spiritueux in Paris and a member of the Society of Wines Educators. His connection to cultural life in the Berkshires is strong, and he enjoys music and cooking as well as various French culture and conversation groups. He now channels his passion into helping people learn about food and wine. Join Philippe as he embarks on an exploration of the fascinating world of wine, weaving together flavors, narratives, and unforgettable experiences.
