B.Y.O.B. stands for "Bring Your Own Bottle", but in our case, it’s about bringing your own story, passion, and experience.
What’s Inside?
The inaugural issue is dedicated to “New and Old Burgundy”—because, for many of our authors and readers, their first Burgundy tasting was a game-changing experience. And for many, the fascination remains everlasting.
