Mark and I enjoyed the most amazing weekend filled with great wine, and seafood. We’ve avoided virtual wine tastings for so long, holding out for in person, as you hear so many little stories and personal tales that way. But Al was absolutely brilliant (again) and we had such a blast. The wines were delicious, and a really good test of our (rusty) skills, and Al was engaging, hilarious and eased us back into tasting with his expertise and experience. We’d had such a fun, relaxing time…and it made us miss Calistoga even more!

Thank you very much again, and I’m certain I’ll be in touch soon 🙂

Al will come along and set-up a tasting of up to 8 wines. The cost will a fixed fee of £75 plus the cost of the wines used on the day. The wines will average about £12 a bottle so a tasting of six wines would cost about £150 – that would give you enough wine for up to 18 people so less than £10 per person.

We would tailor each tasting to suit your budget with the number, quality and quantity of wines.
