“My main takeaway from John's wine tasting session was that enjoying wine is about figuring out what you enjoy, not just finding the "best" wine. John is a pro at facilitating this process and encouraging each participant to learn about their own tastes. He's a great guide with deep knowledge and personal experience that made for a fantastic experience..”

“I attended an outdoor tasting John held in the Summer of 2020 and enjoyed a delightful and educational experience.  John provided interesting anecdotes and general information to go along with each vintage, while still keeping the focus on the wine itself.  John did a terrific job of keeping everyone in the group involved in the tastings and in the conversation.  His passion for wine and his easy-going style made for a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere and I look forward to next time..”

“John's wine tasting was fun, accessible, and very informative. He is a thoughtful instructor, and designed our French wine tasting to be enjoyable for the whole group. As a novice wine consumer, I left the tasting with a new appreciation and excitement for wine! ”

“John's tasting was relaxed, friendly and informative.  He educated us on the process, then encouraged us to offer our thoughts on the wines before giving us his own.  John worked to make everyone feel at ease, since this was a first-time experience for several of us.  John is very personable and does an excellent job of sharing his knowledge and passion for wine..”

“What I like about John's wine tastings is you get both his knowledge about wine-- I really like to learn facts and details about how wine is made and characteristics of different wines-- and you also discover and explore each wine for yourself. John helps you put vocabulary and understanding to your experience. Now I can go into a wine shop and both know what I like and how to find it without just guessing like I did before. And now my friends are coming to me for wine recommendations, I like that almost as much as the wine! Thanks, John!”
