"Good value for money, and I enjoyed sharing our thoughts about different wines.  The Italian evening was good!"  Selina L  

 "Good Course and would be happy to recommend" Fiona D

Term Three - 2011

 "Loved the course. Leanne has such a wealth of knowledge and I learnt far more than I ever imagined I would.  The course has given me the confidence I wanted to choose great wines for food matching.  Great value for money."  

"Fantastic course. Great balance of fun & knowledge: It was (Leanne's) vast industry knowledge and high level of organisation in .. weekly presentations that made this course personally fulfilling.  Thank you."  M & R Thompson  

"The Italian Wines night at the Italian Restaurant was the highlight of the course!" IMCD

"I thought it was great value for money - shame it is coming to an end!"   

 Night of Italian Wines at a restaurant should "definitely" continue!  

 AP   "Fabulous course.  We really looked forward to the class each week.  Leanne is very knowledgeable about wine and has a great way of sharing this in a relaxed and enjoyable way. Highly recommended!" 

Craig & Sarah   "Italian night was the best night of the course. I did enjoy discussing what foods go with the various wines.  Would like more of this!"  

"Great course - I now feel confident with a wine list in hand!'   LT

 

Term 2/2011

It's the class that makes the difference each term and I was absolutely thrilled to hear the informal comments at the end!  After course finished, we enjoyed dinner together with lots of different wines to try, and the new wine appreciators talked about what they'd enjoyed and why they chose my course. The highlights were: to meet like minded people, make new friends, enjoy an evening's conviviality etc .and they said they chose my course because of the structure,&  the relaxed informal fun way of approaching wine.

Most of the group went on to form "Decanter Banters" (blog: http://decanterbanter.blogspot.com/) and meet monthly to continue the fun and try new wines.

 

 

"The course met & exceeded expectation with an excellent spread of wines and amazing value.  Can’t speak highly enough of the course, what will we do on Monday nights now!"   Robert & Dove:  Term 3, 2010

"Excellent value for the amount of wonderful wines & knowledge to go with it – I enjoyed every class very much!"  Theo Term 3, 2010

 

Term 2 2010: “ The course exceeded (expectations) – I hadn't imagined that we would get the opportunity to taste quite so many wines, across such a range of prices and styles; the quality very good – and some real finds! The course gives Value for Money.”

 

"We really enjoyed the course, and will enjoy the Australian wines even more after the course. You took our imagination and senses on a wonderful wine tour, with an extra bit of fun added on the side!  Kind regards, Dorothy and Riaan"  (Dec 09)

 

"Thanks for the great course Leanne, great information and interaction with the class.  I even surprised myself on the last night with my knowledge on the "paper bag testing's"  

Catherine Martin  July 09
 
"Thank you for a most enlightening and enjoyable 7 weeks.   Having you share your industry and personal wine experiences with us along with sampling many notable wines, was a very much appreciated opportunity for me and I'm sure the rest of the class as well.  "

Andrew Scholz  July 09
 

"Thank you again for the past 8 weeks, Elysia and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and have definitely developed a much better appreciation for wine than we had before! Not only were the tastings a highlight, but we found the tidbits you provided about the winemaking process and associated knowledge fascinating. I hope future classes are just as successful and we'll definitely recommend your course to friends. "

Jon McConkey July 09
