Wine Sommelier and Virtual Tasting

For my mom's birthday, Michael Blake organized an outstanding online wine tasting. Our entire family thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Michael struck a perfect balance between being knowledgeable and entertaining, refined yet approachable.

I had the pleasure of working with Michael for my wife's wine tasting birthday party. From our initial phone call, I knew he was the perfect fit. His wealth of experience and flexibility were apparent as he presented multiple tasting options and asked questions to understand the nature of our event. Promptly booking through Paypal, Michael's communication leading up to the party was excellent - responding quickly and thoroughly to my many inquiries via the CrackerJack app. With Michael's guidance, we made choices for the wine tastings, and he even researched and suggested a retailer where I could conveniently purchase the wine. On the day of the event, Michael arrived early to elegantly set up his wine tasting table and interacted with guests professionally. As he served as the emcee for the party, Michael provided interesting facts about the wines, guiding the party organically. After the event, my wife and her friends were effusive in their praise for Michael's work and the wines he selected. In fact, two of them expressed interest in hiring him for their own tastings in the future. Michael's pricing was both affordable and a great value for his experience and personable approach, and I would be thrilled to work with him again.

Mike was excellent! He was extremely friendly and possessed a wide range of qualifications. Remarkably impressive, particularly in light of the obstacles we faced. I am eager to discover a means of collaborating with him in the future!

Michael facilitated a wine tasting event for the community and offered his assistance in all aspects - from planning and preparation to execution. His vast knowledge on wine was evident as he presented a captivating slideshow for each wine we tasted. The presentation was meticulous, including details about the region, grape type, color, taste, and smell of each wine. In addition, he brought an element of fun to the event with a game of guessing different scents from covered bowls. I highly recommend Michael!

It was an incredible experience with Michael! Despite the virtual setup, our tasting session went smoothly and was nothing short of amazing. Michael impressed me with his vast knowledge, professionalism, and lively personality. He was able to squeeze us in his tight schedule, remaining highly responsive and accommodating throughout. If you're searching for a top-notch sommelier, Michael is highly recommended! I'm thrilled about booking another appointment with him soon.
