SPONSORS
Born in the French Alps in 1948, three brothers founded an Emmental cheese business. Two years later, they began maturing and marketing it, bringing about the first wheels that would bear their name from the mountain pastures to the cellars of Annecy. Driven by the reputation of their products, the Entremont brothers quickly established themselves on French cheese shelves, with Emmental at the forefront of a range that soon expanded to other cheese-growing regions and was available by the slice, in portions, and grated. After 70 years of expertise and innovation, Entremont has become the essential brand for French tables and kitchens.
When Frederick S. Wildman Sr joined the ranks of Americans serving abroad in WW1, he had no idea it would plant the seeds for his future. Stationed in France, Wildman became a decorated veteran, attaining the rank of first lieutenant in the Second Division of the U.S Army and eventually achieving the rank of Colonel. But it was another newly formed passion that would propel him to prominence and change his life forever: the incredible fine wines and champagnes of France that he suddenly found himself exposed to, and an insatiable thirst to learn everything he possibly could about them.
