My wife and I have always had a keen interest in gastronomy and moved towards becoming experts in the field. We both became chefs and dedicated most of our time and life to good eating and drinking. Furthermore, our purpose has always been to create a tool or environment that can make a difference in people's lives.
In keeping abreast with the news and conducting regular research in the food and wine industry, we observed an interesting common denominator among many food and wine enthusiasts. We discovered that when it comes to wine most people do not have a clear idea of what wine to buy at a market or order at a restaurant, and often times they're disappointed with their choices.

Obviously, with the number of choices of wine out there, it is not always easy to know what wine to purchase when you go to the market. But our research concluded that the problem or challenge isn't always the fact that there are too many choices. The problem comes from the ego of the individual. We saw people going up and down the aisles looking here, and looking there and end up either not buying anything or just pick up a bottle with an unsatisfied look on their face. Not one, not two, not three but dozens of people at a time. Many times I couldn't help myself but walking up to them and suggest a couple of wines. One time I helped 4 customers in a store to buy 37 bottles of wine. They were so relieved that somebody who knew about good wine was there to help them out. It was interesting and even funny, because right after these bottles were bought, the staff was there, very surprised, to quickly fill the empty spaces.
So, to make life a little easier, we decided to create a comprehensive wine guide called "The Right Wine For Your Food," that informs the public of what wine goes with what food, how it tastes, and even where to buy it. This way the person that is planning to go to the market or a restaurant knows exactly what wine to buy or order with confidence, and feel good about it.
When we make someone feel good, we know we have accomplished our purpose.
