It started around one coffee table in apartment 6.
today thousands of young melburnians come together to share a love of wine (and each other)
Every fortnight i shared a bottle with strangers and we talked.
we still do.
A wine club -
It was a simple idea: to learn about and enjoy wine with new friends without being a sommelier.
- but it was never really about the wine
It all started in my living room in the middle of heartbreak. It was a selfish mission: like many of us, I needed people who I could be there for, and who would be there for me. I needed somewhere to be. Turns out, other people did too.
seriously unserious
We take wine seriously, but ourselves? Not so much.
Whether you know your way around a wine list or just know what you like, with us you are free to get curious, ask questions and enjoy good wine without the rules, pressure or pretension.
meet the founder
With a background in experience design, marketing, counselling, and absolutely no formal wine credentials, I started hosting silly little social wine tastings in my living room (though I have levelled up my quallies since!).
Since then, I am a Wine Show Australia radio host, write a fortnightly wine Substack and run this incredible community.
I still don't claim to be a wine expert, but I like to think I know a thing or two.
We are all learning together and wine is meant to be fun and I can’t wait to meet you.
Megan cruickshank
Outside of wine, I:
have unnecessarily strong opinions about things that don't matter
will happily roast you a chicken if you ask
wear red lipstick often
will probably hug you when we meet
am told I have a resting bitch face but I'm actually quite nice!!
have a greyhound called Rosie, and yes, I will show you photos.
