Recent Intro Course Customer Testimonials:

"Just thought I would pass on a personal note of how much I enjoyed the introduction to wine course. The presenters were very knowledgeable and were able to impart that in a fun way. As a result I not only learnt a hell of a lot about wine but feel that my approach to and tastes in wine have been broadened considerably. I have been exposed to a range of wines I would never have thought of before the course and probably spent far more than I should have on course materials. But armed with a lot more knowledge I now find myself enjoying my wine a lot more. I have every intention of coming back for more.
Thanks for a wonderful experience". Terry, May 2011


"Virtuous yet sinful; Phil mixes his experience of professional and social drinking onto a canvas like painting from a masters brush-art"
Tom - 13/3/06
