Testimonials
Tastoria is a great way to spend an evening. Everyone gets involved in the wine, food and excitement of the event. Key to this seems to be picking great wines and that has been done by the CEO - Catherine. Go Tastoria! Great idea! Excellent service and product!

Gender:
Male
Occupation:
gm of sales for a winery
Reason for being a Tastorian:
I am a wine lover, and want to know more about it.
Wine epiphany:
1990 - staying at a family friends house at the river house in the croft in sudbury...popped downstairs for a mid week red and came back with a 1972 Echezeaux....astonishing.
Memorable wine experience:
touring cellars in opporto with the symington family in 1993 whilst surfing the beach breaks of northern portugal
Funniest wine experience:
whilst collecting wine from a casion on the thames I dropped a case of krug and what i thought was nondescript white into the river - i thought the champagne was a tragedy, turns out the white was a montrachet...nasty...
Death-bed Wine:
grand cru burgundy or first growth claret
Biggest wine disappointment:
grange - way too young
My Vineyard:
coonawarra
