Jun 25,2024It was a fabulous day. I always thought tasting 16 wines would be an issue, however Gilbert’s style and knowledge made the day go very well with the tastings being paced perfectly. Keen to share his knowledge he made the significant information fun and intriguing thereby holding our attention throughout the day. I would happily recommend the day to friends and family.

Jun 05,2024We enjoyed Wingfield Wines World Tour at the Cote Brasserie few years ago, so this year I bought the Spanish Wine and Tapas evening for my husband Ben for his birthday. I was a little bit apprehensive as he has not been a huge fan of Spanish wines in the past (he’s Italian origin - is it a bit like the English and the Scots? cheerful rivalry?) , but I thought the South American element might interest him. And there’s always Rioja…. Plus - huge draw - the tasting evening is at Jamon Jamon in the REALLY convenient location of Soho. Didn’t know Jamon Jamon and the private room set aside just for us for the tasting evening was a revelation / very private, colourful pleasant setting. Great service by the waiters. You feel you are attending something special - a good move for a birthday celebration gift. Gilbert Winfield greeted us with a very warm welcome and, as before, was very chatty and friendly. I remembered that from the World Tour and really liked that, as I have been to other tastings , especially on the Continent (have I mentioned Austria?) where the atmosphere was stuffy, not particularly friendly and therefore a bit intimidating. This was nothing like that. Very friendly, casual, fun atmosphere, but with lots of attention paid by Gilbert to teaching us as much as he could about the different wines and encouraging us to participate (only if we wanted to) and ask questions, offer opinions etc. Very well organised and focussed on the wines. The wine selection was very interesting indeed and covered Spain and several South American countries in a comparative and highly informative way. Plenty of wine on offer and no eyebrows were raised if we didn’t use the spittoons and instead drank away. As one of the other guests and I agreed, we were certainly not going to waste the wine by using the spittoons. Strikes me that Gilbert is a walking encyclopaedia on wine, but manages to convey the information without being patronising, snooty or boring. Quite the opposite in fact. It was a lot of fun, with lots of laughter. Lastly, there was absolutely no pressure at all to purchase any wines, but if you did want to do so, then the price and where to buy (including from Winfield Wines, but also from Waitrose, Lidl etc.) details were readily accessible. Oh, yes, lastly lastly, the tapas food was excellent and plentiful (and matched to enhance the wine) - and neither Ben nor I usually like tapas, so that is truly saying something. Can’t thing of anything I’d ask Gilbert to do differently, and that is also saying something. Looking forward to other events! Keen to do more. A really entertaining, fun evening where we both learnt a lot. And Ben was very pleased with his birthday gift!

Nov 27,2023A really fascinating day and a great way to understand so much more about wines. If like me you know what you like when you drink wine but not much more than that, this is a great entry in to the world of wines! Gilbert is a font of knowledge and an entertainer. Great day out.

Nov 10,2023We had a fantastic time at our recent wine tasting. The day was structured well and we had a delicious meal, with wine pairings, too! Gilbert was a fantastic host and has exceptional knowledge, answering everyone's questions in depth. The whole group had a great time and we learnt a lot! We will definitely look to do another wine tasting soon and would highly recommend!

Oct 30,2023We thoroughly enjoyed the way in which Gilbert structured our day’s Wine Tasting experience. We had plenty of time to ask questions, discuss the many International wines throughout the day and feel that we took away very useful knowledge for the future. It was a really good idea to enjoy a 3 course meal with Gilbert’s wine choices. All of us agreed it had been a great day … cheers.
