Thank You to our Symposium Attendees

Dear Symposium Attendees and Friends,

We had an amazing time at the Embassy of France in Washington DC last week and hope you did too!

Thank you for all of the memories created and laughs shared!

We opened 1600 bottles and each participant tasted 120+ wines from iconic producers including Grand Cru Bourgogne, Classified Growth Bordeaux & exceptional wines from Jura, Provence, Loire, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon and the Rhône Valley.

We hope the symposium gave you new insights and left you empowered. We can’t thank you enough for all your great comments and active participation in the discussions. It truly was a “meeting of the minds.”

Thank you for celebrating our 10th anniversary with us. We are dedicated to innovation and excellence in French wine education and we are sincerely looking forward to the next decade with you.

Santé!

Julien Camus

Founder & President @ Wine Scholar Guild

Julien worked as Trade Attaché for wines and spirits at the French Embassy in Washington DC (2004-2006). In this role, he recognized the need for French wine education as a means to spur consumer demand and interest in his country’s wines.

To that end, he founded the Wine Scholar Guild in August of 2005,an organization dedicated to the promotion of French wine and culture through education. Julien invited national importers of French wine to join the organization as Industry Members and 25 key French wine importers did so immediately.

After leaving the embassy, he has devoted his energies to developing the Wine Scholar Guild and its network of program providers around the globe. Julien holds a Masters Degree in Business Administration with a major in International Marketing from the Strasbourg Management School.

In 2019, Julien was one of the "Future 50" award winners, an award created by WSET and IWSC to acknowledge professionals under 40 who have made a significant contribution to the industry.
