Having done a couple of wine tastings before I expected to taste a few wines, chat about where they come from, buy a bottle of the one I like best and leave. This is not that kind of wine tasting!!! We had a brilliant time we learnt how to actually taste the wine. Understand the taste, why the wine tastes the way it does, how food changes the taste of wine and I personally learnt what I enjoy most in a red wine, and now I know what to look for. Absolutely brilliant experience and I would definitely recommend!It was not my first wine tasting but this time I learned a lot about the wine culture and history of Bordeaux, the way how to easily taste a wine and also about the producing process and the typical local grapes.

It was not my first wine tasting but this time I learned a lot about the wine culture and history of Bordeaux, the way how to easily taste a wine and also about the producing process and the typical local grapes. But the most important thing about this tasting was definitely that we really laughed a lot and had fun until the end!! The two brothers are very professional and you can see that they love what they are doing. The atmosphere was very familiar and comfy and they both take time for there guests! The selection of the food was perfect and from high quality. The three wines where well choosen to taste the differences between the grapes and the different regions of the wines. We can highly recommend this kind of wine tasting to everyone who is interested in the wine culture of Bordeaux. Thanks for that really great evening and the recommendations you gave us!!!!

He spoke very good English, so there was no problem with language barriers. The shop was very quaint, and gave an intimate experience to the whole tasting. I must recommend this with flying colours to anyone who wants to experience not just Bordeaux wines, but it's wonderful people as well.The brothers are very knowledgeable about Bordeaux, the region, and WINE!
