Testimonials

The evening with Tastoria was a wonderful experience. It was great to enjoy the selection of wines which were expertly paired with the food. It is also nice to do this in the comfort of your own home which removes the potential intimidation factor that can be available at a public tasting event. I will definitely do...

My Wine Bio

Name:
Benjamin Llewelyn

Gender: 
Male

Occupation: 
Wine Merchant and panalist



Wine epiphany: 
Cheval Blanc with a dash of water when I was 4. My Grandfathers's company owned the Chateau at the time

Memorable wine experience: 
Sitting with Angelo Gaja over breakfast chewing the fat.He broke the orange juicer and blamed me.

Funniest wine experience: 
Drinking what i thought was Bollinger when in fact it was Cava

Death-bed Wine: 
A methuselah of Mouton 45. I suspect there aren't many.

Biggest wine disappointment: 
The Bollinger that I tasted before I realised it was cava!


Wine hero: 
today it's Ludovic Bonnelle of Domaine du Pech-making great wine in the face of adversity and crummy AC laws!

About Me
