Magnificent memories are often made while celebrating with friends or family after a day on the slopes or an exotic beach adventure, sharing dinner and fabulous wine. Elevating the moment with a wine tasting experience with PerUs makes the evening extraordinary.
The image of an intimate setting with out-of-this-world wine became the vision of the founder and CEO of PerUs Wines, Anmol Bhandari. He was inspired by memories of sharing iconic bottles of wine with his father, family, and friends throughout his youth while he explained the label, region, story, and why the wine was produced. His love of wine grew. After bonding over a right bank Bordeaux dinner with friends from the OPM program at Harvard Business School, he developed this idea of re-creating these moments with the next generation, and with the help of many, PerUs was born.
PerUs means “for us” or “by us” to indicate the wines produced are something the owners are proud to share and enjoy frequently themselves. Their highly-regarded winemaker, Russell Bevan, is one of the few in the world to receive over 20 perfect 100-point scores by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. Armaan, named after Anmol’s son, is the most highly allocated wine, made from the most perfect four barrels of Cabernet Sauvignon from the legendary Tench Vineyard. The wine garners top scores and exudes power, strength, complexity, and depth.
“PerUs is more than just a winery; it is a curator of experience,” said Katya Perez, the Director of Marketing and Sales.
A private wine tasting with PerUs can take place anywhere in the world as the winery can go to the client versus the other way around. To date, over 250 intimate wine dinners have taken place in endless venues such as client’s homes, some of the most exclusive private clubs in the world, a ski mountain, one of the only shooting ranges in New York City, and a hangar. If a client can dream it, PerUs will help make it happen.
Perez leads the events, and she curates the experience for the guests, tells the PerUs story, and shares the meaning and ethos of each wine. Guests lucky enough to attend can secure wine allocations where applicable.
Outside of exclusive tastings, wine enthusiasts living or traveling in Napa can inquire online for a private tasting with PerUs. If a tasting isn’t in the cards, it’s possible to find PerUs at prestigious events and locations such as The Monterey Car Show or The Yellowstone Club. Or, join the waitlist for membership into the club, where members will have access to their allocation once admitted.
The wine is superb and not easily acquired. Many will also say it’s worth the wait. Wherever the wine is appreciated, it’s bound to be an unforgettable experience with a small gathering of friends, family, or colleagues, just as the PerUs founder imagined.
