Some feedback and thank you notes from our attendees...
Discovery Day, Moor Hall, Nov 2024
Hi Jane
Yes I did! Been meaning to drop you a line to say ‘thanks’ and to pass on some positive feedback.
Really enjoyed the day and Chris did a great job covering a wide range of topics but also catering for a few of my specific interests along the way.
Again, please pass on my thanks to Chris for a great day. I’ll be looking out for another training / tasting event so I can keep building my knowledge!

Dear Carl
A very delayed response, so I do apologise, but my thanks for a really brilliant day.
Ian and I had a superb time, you were great, and there was a wonderful atmosphere throughout…plus we learnt quite a bit!
I’ll leave a FB review and thanks again. There’s every chance I’ll be back, as my wife was gutted to miss out.
Best wishes

Ali - Virtual Wine Tasting, Oct 2024
Dear Jane,
I would like to say a big thank you for the event we attended online on 11/10 with Anissa, she was the most delightful host!
The voucher was given by a friend who’s a wine enthusiast.
My husband and I have attended a many wine tasting events in the past. It was our first online wine tasting, which seemed a bit unusual, but it turned out very interactive and dynamic. We have learned some interesting facts shared by lovely Anissa.
Thank you and good luck with your business!
Kind regards
Ali and Brian

Hello Jane
As you know we did the wine experience yesterday. I just wanted to say that Carl was absolutely brilliant, just the right balance of humour and a wealth of information. It was great fun and despite having attended many similar events over the years we learned a lot from him. The whole family enjoyed the day very much!

Browns Bristol - Introduction to Wine Tasting, Jul 2023
Jane,
I would like to say thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to go along to one of your wine tasting evenings. Although the evening was described as an introductory evening my friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the session (we have both passed WSET level 3). I thought that Robert pitched it about right for the other attendees who were beginners, made the evening fun and allowed us both to contribute. I would thoroughly recommend a similar session to others. On the back of our experience I also looked into the Bordeaux tasting in September, but unfortunately, I am away on that evening. I will keep it in mind though in case my holiday plans change.
Thank you once again.
Andrew
Browns, Birmingham, Mar 2023
Hi Jane
Just to say thank you for Friday in Birmingham. Anissa was an absolute delight. Even though there were only a few of us the evening was great. So much so, we stayed with another couple after Anissa left and had a great evening with them.
Thanks again and we will be back

Missenden Abbey Wine Tasting Weekend, Feb 2022
Hi Jane,
I just wanted to drop a quick line to say how much we enjoyed this past weekend at Missenden Abbey.
We travelled from Liverpool, so went to Bicester on the Friday and stopped overnight there and so it was only 45 minutes to get to Missenden on the Saturday. Both the abbey and the surrounding area are beautiful and we had glorious weather to boot, so it was really lovely.
Abby who did the course was great, so friendly and really knows her stuff. Neither of us are wine buffs in any way but we do love to drink it(!) and try different types and different brands, so it's really interesting to learn a bit more about it all.
It was a friendly and fun group of people we were part of and we thoroughly enjoyed the day. The food was absolutely gorgeous as well and plenty of it (handy to soak up the alcohol as we're not really 'spitters'!!) and all in all, we had a really lovely time.
So as I say, I wanted to drop a line to let you know we considered the whole thing a roaring success and all being well, we'll try and do another one with you guys in the future at beautiful Missenden Abbey.
Helen & Paul

Introduction to Wine Tasting - Brasserie Blanc, Nov 2017
Good afternoon Jane,
I would just like to pass on some of the great feedback I have received from the team this morning following our wine tasting event hosted Helen last night.
Everyone enjoyed the event and all said that Helen was great, very engaging and that she brought an element of fun to the session. Nice wines to try, interesting hints & tips, a lovely venue and I personally came away with a few experiments ( for want of a better word) to try on my friends when we are next out.
A great evening and a few of us are now thinking of booking a champagne tasting evening next year.
Please pass our thanks to Helen as she was a large part of making our evening enjoyable.
Kindest regards

Asa, Mar 2015
Hi Jane,
I just wanted to provide some feedback on the WSET L3 course I completed this weekend.
I was, overall, really pleased with how the course went – the sessions were quite intense, and at times I felt somewhat overloaded with information, but I thought Chris was an excellent tutor, and had a great number of tricks for helping us remember key facts for the exam. I also found the technique he helped us develop for the Systematic Approach to Tasting in particular brought a lot of sense to the whole exercise, and made the exam feel a whole lot less daunting.
Many thanks,
Asa

We had a wonderful time on Saturday with Brian. He pitched it just right. Friendly and low key but very informative. My brother who has attended many wine tasting events spoke very highly of Brian, saying he learned more from him than all the other events he had attended.
The event was a Christmas present from my sons and they could not have chosen a better present. Thank you ThirtyFifty and Brian.

Ian & Denise, Apr 2013
We attended the Bosworth Hall wine tasting weekend on Saturday. It was absolutely superb!! It was our first and were we a little concerned it would be pretentious and subjective but we learned so much and loved the way it was designed for us for pursue the wines we love, as well as find wines we would never normally consider. All that good stuff said, Eric was the real highlight of the day - his knowledge was amazing (I don't remember a single question he couldn't answer) and his humour and presentation style were perfect from the very early stages to the more challenging, noisier moments later in the afternoon after all that wine! Can't recommend him and the entire day highly enough. Thanks again.
Ian & Denise (from Kent)
Nancy & Jeremy, Apr 2013
I am writing to give feedback following the wine tasting weekend at Bosworth Hall. This is the first time that my husband and I have done a wine tasting and we loved every minute of it! We were lucky enough to have Erik to take us through the event and he is a credit to your company. He combined useful knowledge with humour and made it into an extremely pleasurable day. We will definitely be attending another one in the future.

Matching food with wine - excellent! Interesting information on your taste preferences and useful info on regions.
Phil (Discovery Day), Jan 2013
Great...well structured, food matching was great and very useful. Superb presentation thank you - made wine tasting accessible and fun.
Tracy (Discovery Day), Jan 2013
I found the overall structure very informative, i.e. how to identify a wine, matching food & wine, taste testing wine glasses very informative and exactly what I wanted. Chris got the tone perfectly right between light hearted and fun and information giving. I loved it!

Everybody found the day of Wine Tasting, very informative and enjoyable. It was interesting, educational and lots of Fun. We loved the competitive edge, and Erik kept our attention and interest all day. It was everything and more, that I had hoped for.

Thank you, we had a lovely evening, really enjoyed and will be booking another one in future. Highly recommended and our host Robert was lovely. Please pass on my thanks.
Jackie & Roger, Aug 2012
Many thanks for transfering our wine tasting vouchers to Bosworth Hall. Erik was a very entertaining and knowledgable chap and everyone had a great time. The venue itself was buzzing with a wedding but the staff coped very well and your event was enhanced even more by the stunning stately room that it was held in.
We thought that being part of a team made everyone feel welcome and involved and we have made some new friends with similar likes that we are keeping in touch with. We were all fascinated by the variety of wines and bubbles that we were able to taste.
We will be recommending your tastings to friends and relatives and hope to attend ourselves again one day. Keep up the good work!
John S, May 2012
Hi Jane - just back from a very enjoyable day at Piccolino. Please pass on my thanks to Robert for a very full and informative day.
