“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.
