John Callow DipWSET FWS
My mission is to for you to gain more enjoyment from your favourite tipple. Whether a student in the trade or a wine or spirits enthusiast I want to help you benefit from my experience and knowledge.
After working in the drinks industry for some years I found my real passion was in helping others choose and buy wine well. I decided to learn as much as possible about the wines and spirits I enjoyed. Over the years I have earned my WSET Diploma, been accepted by The Association of Wine Educators and become a certified Sherry and Sake Educator. Read more on the About page.

Do I Have to Spit?
The short answer is no. Professional tasters do because they wouldn't be able to taste many wines at a time if they swallowed all of them. You are provided with spittoons at all of our events. Whether you use them is entirely up to you. As you are advised not to drive, but to use public transport, then drinking and driving is not an issue.
Any Other Things to Bear in Mind?
Because the sense of smell is so important in your enjoyment of our events this means:
- Smoking and Vaping are to be avoided. Their strong aromas can affect others' and your appreciation of the wines & spirits.
- Avoid applying any strong scents, such as perfume, after shave and hairsprays for example. These would all interfere with your ability to smell the wines and also that of your fellow tasters..
