Wine School Dropout

 Starting a business is hard. Starting a business in another country and another language is even harder. But that didn’t stop this duo from taking an idea and turning it into a lifestyle brand. Patrick and William are two American men that enjoyed the finer things in life and thought, why not do more with this? 

A chance meeting on a flight to France, and a champagne and cognac brand was born. Here’s the story of William Benson and Patrick Ductant of Billionaire’s Row.

Since the end of our first season, the wine world has been shaken up by COVID-19 and questions about representation in the wine industry for BIPOC. WSD has always been about making wine easier to understand for everyone, (of age of course) because wine is for all.

In an effort to spread this message to a wider audience, host Tanisha Townsend will be speaking with Oliver Gee of The Earful Tower on Sunday June 14th at 9pm Paris time to talk about race and representation in the wine world.

Here's a link to the live stream event this weekend.
