Who We Are

Janice  C. Lee, master imbiber, and consumption specialist. Her tastes know no geographical or quantitative boundaries. She spent a career as an advertising executive in New York City (the large Granny) then moved to the spiny lobster coast to become an entrepreneur and successful investor as long as she did whatever her father told her to do. During this LA period, Janice has expanded her knowledge of wines and blemishes. She makes a great tasting partner since she always imbibes her share.

Micah Forbes, cork popper, grew up in a house of regular wine tasters. From a very (illegally) early age, he was able to taste and understand the aspects of wine. He was in the habit of using score sheets, which helped him learn the key points of sight, smell and taste, all of which he uses to this day.  As an expert technical entrepreneur in the world of Mac’s and ads he has carved a niche, which has allowed him to continue his pursuit of fine wine. As an adventurer in the candy factory he would often buy 36 completely different wines to bring home each week.

David Forbes, the grape wrangler, is first and foremost a chocolate consumer, which is what started this whole thing.  While finding the right chocolate has become difficult, he has managed to drink his wine without enough chocolate. He has been a farmer and film industry marketing and distribution expert, which required him to explore significant quantities of quality wine. After some dabbling in visual effects and animation, he continues to find drinking wine the most satisfying aspect of his career.
