Philippe Newlin is a partner in VINTUS, a fine wine importer. Newlin started (professionally) in wine at Wine & Spirits Magazine where he spent two recent years running the magazine’s tasting program. Philippe also teaches at the Yale School of Management and at Columbia Business School where his introduction to wine courses sell-out quickly. A native New Yorker, Philippe graduated from Columbia’s School of International Affairs with a Master’s Degree in Diplomacy. Newlin has driven a yellow cab in NYC, lived in the jungles of South America as a Peace Corps volunteer, and spent fourteen years on Wall Street trading floors as a currency trader before succumbing to the pleasures of the grape.
