Elie Ernest is the founder of Vin12 and San Francisco Wine Week. He and his team have over 40 years of combined experience in the wine, food, travel and nightlife industries from NYC to CA. Our desire to better speak to the "new" wine enthusiasts drove us to create VIN12.

We can continue to write about ourselves and bore you to the point of you not attending VIN12, or we can meet you in person.

We look forward to meeting you!
