    “Thank you for the fantastic course, and all the effort you put into making it happen. Venue is excellent as well - it is great to benefit from the ramp up in the local scene, how wine shows and judging works - and of course the tastings! This week’s comparison of Margaret River Chardonnay and Petit Chablis was excellent - looking forward to next week!”
