“TO GOODFRIENDS.”

Our new Wine Society crest portrays

Dionysus, the son of the cloud-gatherer Zeus

and the mortal Semele and the Greek god of

grape harvest, winemaking and wine. He is

also known as Bacchus, the name adopted by

the Romans, because he induces bakkheia—a

frenzy one experiences when freed from one’s

normal self through madness, ecstasy, or wine.
