We’d booked with John at Northern Wine School for a steak dinner with wine tasting at a private room at the Malmaison for a stag. Room was excellent, food was good and lots of it – and John hosted the evening well. He gave us all a ‘guess the wine’ style game which saw us all try and identify country of origin, type, price etc of six different red wines; before revealing all and giving us some tips for next time. Great evening, everyone thoroughly enjoyed – would highly recommend.

Birthday treat
Myself and my eldest daughter attended the steak and red wine tasting event held at the Mal Maison hotel, piccadilly Manchester. My daughter booked it as a birthday treat for me and it certainly was a treat. John,who hosted the night was excellent and very knowledgable. The atmosphere was casual and comfortable,the other people were friendly and the whole experience was very good. Plenty of wine to taste and enjoy and a lovely steak to accompany the wines,and learned a bit about red wine too.
