"The information was delivered in a relaxed and cheerful way and I learned a massive amount. I left feeling more confident about my wine choices and with an appreciation of what wine goes with what food. The venue was great, the food was great and Mark was great. If you are thinking about booking a course (for yourself or a present) I’d wholeheartedly recommend it." (Simon via Tripadvisor Oct 2013).
