Really fun night. The wines were really good. Small room on long table conducive to speaking to others - met some really nice people. Highly recommend Gilbert, the venue and the wines.

Thank you very much for your reply, we did the wine tasting last night and loved it! The Chardonnay was a lovely surprise, but our favourite was the Italian rosso. Thanks again,

I just wanted to thank for a fantastic wine tasting on Saturday. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the your introduction of the wines and the selection ensured everyone was trying wines they would not normally have bought; I will definitely be trying the Austrian white again. It was also appreciated that you stayed later and happily continued to share your wine knowledge with those who shared a real interest. Many thanks.
