Contrary to popular belief, tasting events do not just appear out of thin air

They take many hours of planning over several months, to bring the correct combination of individuals together to stage the perfect event.

I’m excited at the moment as things are coming together for the very special event that I’m hosting at the Eden Project on 30th October. Not only is it such an iconic venue, but also it’s the perfect excuse for me to go home and visit friends and family.

There has certainly been a buzz created by the event amongst staff in the office. Unsurprisingly I’ve had no shortage of volunteers to ‘help’ later on in the year, along with several producers already pledging their support and promising to attend, including South Ridge Sparkling English Wine from Sussex.

With so many excellent events coming up later on in the year, customers are almost spoilt for choice (Isle of Man, Liverpool, Derby, Oxford, Eastbourne, Birmingham, Cheltenham, and even a special dinner with Jane Hunter at Le Manoir to name but a few) but we are not resting on our laurels; there is still a lot of work to do and 2011 still to organise, with a list of new venues as well as our old favourites.

I look forward to seeing you all at a tasting near you soon!
