My umpteenth class/dinner with Matthew of Fine Wine Appreciation, as always a superb experience of brilliant wines, excellent company and fine food. This man's knowledge, passion and communication skills are exemplary! I look forward to many more wine - related events with F. W. A.

I came away from Matthew Hansen's Beginner's Wine Class with an understanding of the characteristics of excellent wine as well as the effects of both climate and time on quality . I was surprised by the difference between a wine tasted without food compared to when it was accompanied by food. Some of the wines that I was initially unsure about seemed to morph for me with food. Having been a bit nervous about my naïveté about wine I was delighted with the way Matthew ran the class. It was relaxed, structured, informative and non-judgemental. I highly recommend this class and will be attending more of Matthew's classes/dinners. Thank you!

It is not often that we get the opportunity to have outstanding food and wine with convivial company in a lovely setting hosted by a highly knowledgeable and sensitive host. Matthew Hansen takes 'Fine Wine (and food) Appreciation' to a whole other level. Matthew introduced us not only to wines that we loved (and will seek out) but also in the format of the evening he encouraged us to explore our response to the wines and food. There was no pressure and we did not have to perform. Our experience of it was what mattered most. The other thing that we loved was meeting new people over dinner - that has been all too rare especially in the Covid era.
