“Our guide was very personable and easy to be with. Most importantly, in my view, he listened and paid attention. He figured out our respective degrees of sophistication (not great, in my case) and discussed the wines, their history, and the growing process in ways that I could readily grasp. It was clear that he possesses deep knowledge and enthusiasm. My wife and I really enjoyed his company and we profited greatly from his expertise.”
