You can never have too many friends or too much wine (in your wine rack or repertoire that is). That's why we're introducing you to your new best friends in the whole wine world. Its time to talk vino with sommeliers, vintners, experts (who happen to be hotties), merchants and enthusiasts — not one of them is a boring wine snob.

: Why yes, he is French - and part Italian, and part German. A wine region mutt with pedigree tastes, Marcel always seems to know exactly where to go. His landmarks are fantastic bars and restaurants – new, noteworthy, and off-the-grid. And nobody can describe a wine quite the way Marcel can: a cabernet becomes a "snappy snare-drum solo", a clumsy chardonnay "Jessica Simpson with a busted heel."
: Independently wealthy she's not, but with her gimlet eye for bargains, Jill is great at finding wines under $20 that drink like the pricier stuff. Little-known Pinot Noirs, disarmingly charming Chileans, good wines with bad labels - Jill tells it like it is for everyday drinking. But she's no pushover: that guy that thinks "Chardonnay" means "grown in California"? – drop him.
: Who knew your best friend from middle school would grow up to be a sought-after sommelier? Veronica is never without her Blackberry filled with wine notes. She'll keep you in-the-know, introduce you to obscure new vintages and grapes - she'll even hook you up with a smoky single malt once in a while.
