Gratefully Received after Javea Cheese and Wine Tasting!

Dear Colin
Thank you (and Claire) so much for a brilliant evening on the 25 July 2012.
The wine and cheese tastings were so interesting. Everything went like clockwork.
Your organisation and style of presentation was perfect for an audience of mixed wine/cheese knowledge.
It shows the appeal of this type of event as nobody declined the invitation.
Feed back from our guests afterwards suggest they all thoroughly enjoyed it and many are still talking about it (and even practicing the little wine tasting skills they learned).
So thank you again for a great evening and for one of the highlights of Sandra’s “big birthday” week.
Very best wishes to you both
Sandra and John Field

Received following my Wine Appreciation presentation to a group enjoying a Yoga Break in Spain!

In full flow!

“Colin, thank you again for a great evening last Sunday.   Your wine appreciation session went down so well with the couples on our Yoga Break in Spain.   You’ll be pleased to know there wasn’t a drop of wine left in the bottles you put on the table after you finished your session!    You’re a fantastic ambassador for Spanish wines – I hope the wine producers appreciate what a great asset you are to them.  Your knowledge, enthusiasm & passion for wine is truly infectious.  I am most certainly going to take more time in choosing & appreciating local wines now &  I feel confident that there will be a great many more bottles of Spanish wines sold in the UK now our yoga holiday guests have had the pleasure of meeting you & trying the great selection of wines you bought to our session.”

Comment received after Nepalese Cuisine/Spanish Wine Pairing at Restaurante Himalaya, Moraira, Costa Blanca, Spain

Hola Colin

May we just say how much we enjoyed the evening arranged by you and hosted at the Hymalaya restaurant. The decor and service in the new Restaurant could not be faulted and although we have been going to the original El Portet Hymalaya for a number of years the foods we enjoyed on the evening were totally new to us and rather delicious. Your comments between courses made it all the more fun and sometimes surprising to ‘pair’ certain wines to compliment Asian spices. We do find that salads and spices are not always in tune with the flavour of some wines and this is where your experience of wine tasting came in to the fore. Finally to say thank you once again for bringing us quickly into the new Restaurant so that we may confidently add it to our list of eateries to recommend when  paying guests holiday with us in Pinos at the finca. Moraira is a worthwhile drive down the mountain for our clients enjoying both the views on the way down and the bonus of fine food and wine at the end of their journey.
