The Wine Tasting Co was created in 2009 out of a passion and love for wine. The Wine Shop followed on 2012. We continue to serve retail and wholesale customers.This passion was born in New Zealand 2006 whilst I was traveling and had the fortune to meet many enthusiastic people who loved talking about their wines. It was most enchanting and I was hooked. Continuing with my travel plans I moved on to the Caribbean to work with turtles. But as wine wasn’t readily available I had to go with just the theoretical approach at that time.Returning to the UK and to employment with a London based international wine company, I was able to learn more and gain my advanced qualification with WSET (The Wine and Spirit Education Trust). Next a position became available with an independent wine merchant in Clifton, Bristol and since working at Clifton Cellars I have been involved in arranging and tutoring their tasting events.Whilst here I decided that I wanted to bring the passion to others and to take away the often pompous attitude that wine portrays and just get people to enjoy wine as it should be. Love wine, love tasting.The joy with wine is that there is always so much more to learn. It’s an ever developing subject as more winemakers evolve and create new and exciting wines.Our aim is to demystify the subject and bring wine to you to be enjoyed as it should be.
