What is LeDomduVin?
"LeDomduVin" is many things, but above all it is a concept turned into a nickname initiated by a friend's joke during a dinner back in 1997 shortly after I moved to London.
A young Sommelier back then, when we had dinners amongst friends at each other places, each of us was contributing to the dinner by bringing 1 or 2 bottles of wine or champagne (and/or food, cigars, port, cognac, etc...), and I loved opening the bottles and serving the wine for my friends during these dinners.
As we had fun and conversations were in full swing around the table while eating and drinking, glasses were emptied quite fast and my roommate at the time who was a Bartender and who nicknamed me "Le Dom" (to make it more unique 😉) was always asking at the sight of the empty glasses for me to open and pour more wine: "Le Dom, du vin s'il te plait!" (which can be translated in English as: "Le Dom, some wine please!").
The nickname of "LeDomduVin" was born and stuck to me ever since...
Shortly after, I started to realise that "LeDomduVin" was a great name, especially for a Sommelier and grandson of a winemaker with a passion for wine like me, as in fact LeDomduVin could mean or represent many things:
1. LeDomduVin is my nickname based on the expression of my friends "Le Dom, du vin !?!" (when glasses are empty 😉)...

2. LeDomduVin could also be the short name for "Le Domaine du Vin" (*) as "the field of Wine", meaning as a general subject of conversation or presentation about wine

3. LeDomduVin could also be the short name for "Le Domaine du Vin" (**) as an estate or a property exclusively dedicated to wine (a winery or a wine store or wine museum)

4. LeDomduVin could also be the short name for "Le Dôme du Vin" as a place or a building where wines are under a dome (a winery or wine store or a wine museum)
As you can see "LeDomduVin" is quite versatile and can be interpreted whatever way you see it.
