About — CBS Wine

Our Mission

CBS Wine exists to make wine accessible, enjoyable, and educational for students. We believe you don't need a sommelier certification to appreciate great wine — just curiosity and good company.

We organize up to 3 tasting events per semester at CBS, each attended by up to 100 students. We collaborate with professional wine importers and merchants who bring curated selections and share their knowledge. Every tasting is designed to be approachable for beginners while still engaging for those with more experience.

Join CBS Wine

We're always happy to meet wine-curious CBS students who want to get involved.

CBS Wine is run by a small group of students who share a passion for wine, events, and good company. We plan tastings, reach out to the wine industry, create content, and handle all the logistics that make our events happen. Beyond the work, we're a close-knit group — we have regular team gatherings and a summer party to close out the year together.
