Elissa Sychaei

Elissa is a Latinist, a wine lover, and the dux femina facti of Vintellect. She self-describes as a well-aged Cabernet Franc with aspirations to Brunello, and she spends most of her time with the elegists and Augustan poets.

Anna Perenna

Anna is a bona fide foodie with a nose for interesting and unusual wines. Catch her on the weekend kicking back with a crisp Arneis and some of the sassier historiographers.
