Session followed a strict rota: taste, lecture, move on. Little flexibility or curiosity about individual clients? preferences.

Educational and fun group session
Hosted friends for a mid?week wine night with this service. Sommelier led us through a themed tasting?cool?climate whites vs warm?climate. Encouraged us to smell, sip, swirl, and describe. Prompted discussions on balance, finish, and food matches. Session lasted just over an hour?plenty of time, not rushed. Received price?range suggestions for follow?up purchases. Felt like a casual hangout with structure and insight. Would book again for similar events.

Smooth virtual tasting
Did a virtual session over video conference. Tasting packs arrived early. Online interaction was warm and detailed. Discussion about tasting technique translated well over video. Enjoyable experience.

Worthwhile experience
Conversation was down-to-earth, and recommendations were spot-on. Ended up buying a bottle I hadn?t considered before. Mildly higher cost but fair.

Nice but not standout
Knowledgeable sommelier, decent wine selection. But experience felt a bit rushed, without the personal touch I expected for the cost.

Sommelier tailored a tasting to my tastebuds: bright whites, rich reds. The conversation was fun, not pretentious. Took away a few new favorites.

Memorable anniversary activity
We celebrated our anniversary at home with a guided tasting. Sommelier suggested romantic reds and playful dessert wines. Personalized tone made it heartfelt. We both learned something, laughed a bit, and felt closer sharing a new experience. Very well done.

Deep dive with delightful teacher
Booked a custom tasting ahead of our small wine club meeting. The sommelier spent days prepping?asked questions, sent preliminary suggestions, and tailored a six?bottle tasting flight. During the session, they explained soil types, barrel ageing, grapes, vintage climate?all accompanied by stories from vineyards visited. Paired wines with light snacks. The conversation was natural and engaging, with questions encouraged. Afterward, received a nicely formatted PDF recap including tasting notes, producer info, and pairing tips. Several club members loved the format, and we now purchase bottles recommended with confidence. For a home?based tasting, this felt professional, personal, and inspiring.

Expertise overshadowed by poor coordination
Sommelier clearly knows their stuff?picked wines that matched cheese board, explained origins, tasting journey. Party guests asked good questions that the expert answered thoroughly. But logistics were messy: arrived late, wine tasting setup wasn?t ready. Had to scramble glasses and decanters. Messed up vibe. Knowledge didn?t make up for poor coordination. Not sure if staffing or internal scheduling issues, but this was avoidable. Good product, bad delivery.

Excellent custom guidance
Booked session before hosting a small gathering. Sommelier asked thoughtful questions?budget, menu, preferences?and tailored recommendations accordingly. Liked that they balanced familiar labels with unique picks. Tasting was paced well; commentary clear but not overblown. Left with a list of bottles and pairing notes. Subtle, smart service, without sales pressure.

Tasting was solid but follow?up lacking
Sommelier guided us through eight wines at our dinner prep session. Informative, engaging, and tailored to our menu. Learned about acidity and food pairing effectively. Unfortunately, the promised follow?up notes and shopping list never arrived, despite reminders. Missed opportunity to round out the experience. Without that, it felt unfinished. Knowledge was good, but the after-sales service fell short. Could be great with better admin.

Engaging session with family
Brought this tasting into our family gathering. Sommelier adapted notes to varied fields?teens got storytelling, adults got tasting details. Balanced tone so it wasn?t dull or too lightweight. Introduced wines from diverse regions: new?world and old. Talked about food pairing, but also about cultural rituals and celebrations. Memorable fun for everyone. After?session notes helped us pick glasses next time. We felt viewed not as client but guest.

In?depth learning with personality
As someone trying to expand wine knowledge, this session was perfect. Sommelier blended science, story, and tasting. Explained phenolics, aging potential, terroir influence, grape cross?breeding. Each wine had vivid description and historical context. They answered every random question?why screw caps, how climate affects acidity, even sustainable farming choices. Session spanned 1.5 hours but felt effortless. We tasted six wines, each thoughtfully paired with cheese, bread, olives. Loved the layered conversation?not dry lecture, but lively exchange. Received follow?up email with clickable links and shopping suggestions. A polished, engaging journey?worth every penny.

Romantic at?home tasting
Made tasting a Valentine?s surprise. Sommelier set a romantic mood?served sparkling to start, then reds and a dessert wine. Shared pairing tips with chocolate and strawberries. Knowledgeable but gentle tone, never showy. Half?structure, half?flowed with our questions. Followed by handy tips on glass shapes and decanting. Thank?you note and recap made it feel finished. Lovely, thoughtful evening.

Great for budding wine lovers
As a casual drinker, sessions demystified red vs white structure, levels, and food matches. Sommelier used analogies that clicked. Interactive tasting quiz was fun. Felt more confident at the store and dinner parties. Slightly higher cost, but educational value exceeded price.

Comprehensive and tailored
Contacted service after a friend?s recommendation. Sommelier asked about tastes, experience level, event type. Prepared four flight options spanning styles and countries. Each wine came with fun facts, serving suggestions, and food match notes. Tasting pacing was spot?on?time to sip, converse, ask follow?up. Didn?t feel rushed. Received an after?session spreadsheet with bottles, regions, vintage info, and average price. Bought two bottles later. Felt like a small investment for a full wine?education experience in my living room.

Helpful but missed budget mark
Tried Personal Sommeliers for a birthday event. The sommelier was friendly and knowledgeable?in fact, they educated my group really well about varietals, terroir, tasting notes. Communication before the event was smooth. But cost ended up significantly over budget. Promised mid?range bottles but delivered mostly premium ones and my total exceeded expectations by a few hundred dollars. Felt a bit blindsided, even though the explanations were great. If you?re planning a big event, stick to the pricing plan exactly or risk surprise charges. The tasting itself was excellent, but the billing left a sour aftertaste.

Beautifully structured experience
Organized a tasting as a surprise for my partner?s birthday. Sommelier called ahead and asked us to share favorite foods, budgets, and event tone. Setup at home was flawless: glasses, ice buckets, decanter all ready. Introduced wine line?up: playful sparkling, layered whites, then full?bodied reds. Expert commentary included country backgrounds, winemaking techniques, and food pairing rationale. Also shared a fun ?blind tasting? segment that had us guessing region and varietal. After session, sent a digital sheet listing wines, prices, and where to buy them. Elevated what could have been a casual evening into something special?thoughtful, flexible, and professional.

Great content, disappointing execution
Session delivered interesting stories and vintage context. Loved hearing about regional grape differences. Sommelier was very passionate, made it engaging. But the event itself was far from smooth. They canceled the morning of our booking citing scheduling issues, then later said they could do it, but arrived half an hour late. Felt disorganized. For the premium price, I expected punctuality and respect for time. Wine chat was fun, but logistics made me question professionalism.

Exceptional educational experience
Went solo to learn more about wine regions and tasting techniques. Sommelier layered complexity at a comfortable pace, discussed climate effects, grape blends, vintage distinctions. Hands?on instruction using sampling flights. Appreciated the visual aids and regional maps. Walked away not only enjoying each sip more, but understanding why I liked certain wines.

Thoughtful pairing consultation
Used service to help choose wines for a seated dinner of lamb, seafood starter, and chocolate dessert. Sommelier suggested three reds and two whites?some common, some adventurous. Explained why each worked with dishes, offering alternatives for guests with lighter tastes. Tasting included mini?samples so we tested the pairing. Communication ahead of time addressed portions and corkage concerns. Follow?up PDF was thorough. Dinner was a hit?guests kept commenting how well the wine matched. Above?average service, deeply personalized and dependable.

Knowledgeable but service lagged
Session included deep dive into reds and whites?sommelier nailed descriptions and paired wines thoughtfully. Enjoyed learning about decanting and vintage aging. However, scheduling communications were frustrating. Emails took days to answer, and a last?minute reschedule wasn?t accommodated. That lack of flexibility made the whole experience feel stiff. At that price point, you expect better response. The tasting content was top-tier, but overall customer experience left me annoyed and less likely to return.

A charming, guided wine journey
As a coffee fanatic curious about wine, I appreciated the approachable teaching style. Sommelier acknowledged I was new, and walked me through wine basics, tasting technique, and vocabulary. Each bottle came with a mini?story: vineyard altitude, harvest method, vintage weather. Tasting notes were vivid?said the second white was ?like baked apple with a hint of citrus peel.? Elevated my palate, built some confidence, and made wine feel less intimidating. After?session email included tasting sheets and a few custom store links. Highly worthwhile experience.
