MediaVino

Welcome. I set up MediaVino with my friend and work acquaintance Sarah in 2017. It was a long time coming and rooted around a love of wine and making it more inclusive and fun.

I love trying new styles and something different, but also making the wine fit the occasion.

So we created an opportunity to get people together to try some wines, meet and enjoy some time toghether and foster a love of wine, learning about wine and drinking and eating.

We’ve had seven formal tasting events and a few informal ones. We’ve reverted to Zoom in 2020 and 2021 but never stopped trying to find new wine experiences.

Here’s some references for our gifts and tasting sessions…

“Just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed the wine tasting yesterday. You chose some gorgeous wines which we really wouldn’t have come across ourselves … the Albarino was perfect with the crab, truffle oil and pasta meal! And I’m not a red wine drinker – but you’ve converted me with the Bardos Crianza. I have to praise the way you dealt with all the chatter and banter … very cool. You told us lots of really interesting things about the wine and wine-making without any of it feeling like a lecture – a fine line to tread!”

“Just wanted to say a huge thank you for the wine tasting on Saturday night.  I thoroughly enjoyed it - even though I didn’t know my Albariño from my Riesling!!!!  You made the evening really interesting with all your wine knowledge - and you also did a brilliant job of putting up with all the banter. I spoke to all ‘the youth’ on my birthday yesterday and they all said how much they enjoyed the get together (I think you might be stalked from now on).  They were full of thanks also - so you have gained some extra fans.”

“Fantastic, really appreicate the gift…you have outdone yourself, that is bloody fantastic. I owe you some top vino.”
