“Tempus Alba opened up tonight - wrapped in tissue and the lovely tapered bottle - both of which visual elements suggested a treat in store, and by golly... so good, a second just had to be opened! Our first purchase from The Wine Explorer - as Bogart said at the end of Casablanca - and I paraphrase... this could be the start of a wonderful friendship!
Only 10 bottles left...
Many thanks!”
- Andrew Prior
“The Wine Explorer has a real talent for discovering wonderful wines which are close in geography and style to the well-known brand names, but at a fraction of the cost. He also really does know how to present these wines and the stories behind them in a sparkling and witty way.”
- Robin Etheridge
“Graham Mitchell is to wine what Michael Palin is to travel - a sort of Indiana Jones with a corkscrew! Graham has an easy going style where wit, serious comment on wine and charming anecdotes are easily mingled. However, for all the charm the audience is left in no doubt as to his passion and expertise when it comes to the wines. With Graham you learn about wine in a matter-of-fact, direct and accessible way. He was excellent.”
- Paul Wallace-Woodroffe, President, Ye Olde Leather Bottel Clubbe Annual Dinner 2010
“Graham Mitchell is one of the best speakers that our society has enjoyed for years. He is an engaging guide who shares his knowledge of the mysteries of wine with such a light touch that his audience little realise how much they are learning. Graham's stories of his adventures in the vineyards are both amusing and entertaining.”
- Roger Morton, Standard Chartered Bank Wine Society
“Graham brings an immense amount of knowledge and humour to wine tasting. I have used his services several times for occasions where bonding and relaxation are key elements (team meetings, executive meetings and social events) I can thoroughly recommend his skills to enhance your own pleasure and appreciation of wine.”
- Jon Hughes, P A Consulting
“The Wine Explorer's selection of wines is eclectic and interesting and has introduced us to wines we probably wouldn't otherwise have sampled. We also appreciate the discount and value for money as a member of the Cellar Club.”
- Robert MacDonald, Senior Partner, St. James' Place Partnership
“The Wedgetail Cabernet Merlot and Tempus Alba Tempranillo are delicious as indeed are the huge majority of the wines I have bought from you over these last few years. I am also grateful for the excellence of your special offer. The bottles are resting after their journey and will be consumed with great pleasure over the next few months.
I must thank you not only for the quality of the wines but particularly for the quality of the delivery people that you employ. The cases arrived within three days at no cost and the friendly young lady who delivered them insisted on carrying them into the house although she was close to half my size (and one-third my age I guess). Service beyond compare.”
