The drinking of fine wines should be an integral part of today's trend toward gracious living. The purpose of Bacchus - The Minnesota Wine and Food Society  is to inform, engage, and guide our members so that we might better appreciate wine as a companion to fine foods and by itself. Through a familiarity with wine will come much pleasure and enjoyment.  Membership in Bacchus is a must for the discerning wine lover.
