Lindsey discovered 'Life as a Cabernet' upon sampling his first Bordeaux Grand Cru in a Saigon bistro, and has been an avid wine enthusiast ever since.

A communications consultant by day, Mike Tibodeau turns Wine Detective at night, specializing in finding the best values in wine for consumers and trade accounts. If there's a $10 bottle of wine that truly tastes like a $30 bottle, Mike will find it and he's quick to share that information at Adventure Wine promotions such as Consumer Events and In-Store Tasting programs.
Jackie discovered her passion for event planning as a student at The Catholic University of America in Washington DC and currently works with a wide array of social, corporate, and fundraising event clients.
John's love of wine was shaped by two completely different experiences: spending a lot of time in Tuscany and sharpening his tasting skills while living in Napa Valley, California. Over the last 5 years, John has combined his humorous personality and his love of sharing wine with others by leading In-Store Tasting programs and special events for clients.
