What we’re about
Hi, my name is Jason Michael Pate, executive director of Exceptional Wine Experiences Group. I began organizing wine appreciation groups in 2019 in Beverly Hills, California with the Beverly Hills Wine Club. I expanded to Greater Los Angeles that same year with For The Love of Wine while growing my groups to over 750 members. In September 2023 I began the greater Naples, Florida (Paradise Coast) chapter of For The Love of Wine. In January of 2025 The Extraordinary League of Gentlemen Wine Snobs enjoyed their inaugural wine gathering! And...coming this summer!...The Irrefutable Dames of Wine Snobbery Naples!
We invite wine lovers and wine services the world over to celebrate, elevate and champion these passionate wine communities through awareness, education and first in class experiential events.
Our activities include curated live local events such as wine tasting experiences, winemaker dinners, wine destination tours, sommelier referral services, and web-based educational content to name a few.
Whether you're just getting interested in wine or you have a stunning cellar full of fine Burgundy - you'll find an immersive group of passionate wine loving individuals in which to learn something new with each event.
We love wine! Come join us as we enjoy gorgeous wines the world over while celebrating wine and food with like minded Floridians.
With over 500 wine lovers in our Naple's based group, our small scale gatherings fill up fast! Get on our mailing list to be among the first to receive our invites. Click Here.

Where there is no wine there is no love ~ Euripedes
Sorry Gentlemen, this is a wine appreciation group for women who enjoy, collect and or study elevated wines. Each month the group meets at local Naples wine bars, hotels and restaurants to enjoy and discuss the finer wines the world has to offer.
### 🍷 Introducing…
## The Irrefutable Dames of Wine Snobbery – Naples
After the successful debut of The Extraordinary League of Gentlemen Wine Snobs in January, the question has been raised time and again:
“What about the ladies?”
Well, here it is. A new kind of wine group — refined, unapologetically selective, and passionately dedicated to the finest wines in the world.
If you're a serious wine lover and or a collector, or just have enough wine knowledge to be dangerous:), The Irrefutable Dames of Wine Snobbery is for you. This is a group for women who seek depth in the glass and excellence in every sip.

### 🍇 What to Expect:
- Monthly tastings, wine dinners, and private cellar experiences
- Exploration of the world’s most iconic and rare wines
- Conversations and camaraderie with like-minded women

Whether you're building your cellar, expanding your palate, or simply enjoying the social side of fine wine, this group offers something special — a place to uncork, unwind, and elevate your wine journey.
