 Join the CWH for an amazing Vin Fraiche Portfolio Tasting, with Michael Kennedy, Vintner and Founder.

Vin Fraîche Wine Group is a portfolio of sommelier created & curated wineries from California, Oregon, Washington, Bordeaux and Tuscany.

Founded by Michael Kennedy in 2018, former sommelier for chef Eric Ripert & the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company – and joined now by an amazing team of winemakers & sommeliers. The company was founded with the mindset of curation: find the best land, find the best people, create opportunities to do cool things with amazing people.

Michael’s drive to create wines of freshness, vibrancy and life has created a thread of commonality in the wines throughout the brands. His passion for wines that are complex, long lived and built for food has driven him to assemble a team of winemakers and friends that help create wines of substance.
