You can only pick three items but rest assured she was fabulous on all accounts! She picked interesting wines and delicious pairings and taught us everything about how they work together. We learned the best ways to try wine (smelling, swirling, smelling again, different ways to sip it, etc.) and how and why those wines pair with different kinds of foods. Everyone was very impressed with how she circulated the room and checked in with each table to see how we felt about the flavors. I have now attended two of Kelly's events (in fact, I planned this one based on how great the first one was!), and they were two unforgettably fun evenings. Everyone left happy last night, and my friends have all been sending me messages throughout the evening and this morning telling me how much fun they had. Kelly is friendly, accommodating (I had VERY particular requests for the snack pairings), and so easy to work with. Definitely book her for an amazing experience!!

Kelly did an excellent job! She handled my group of 30 like a champ. Everyone had a great time! She was excellent in helping choose wines, doing a trial run. I can’t say enough great things about her.

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much! I had such a great time with you and your friends ! Thank you so much for the opportunity! And your backyard was absolutely spectacular. That was one of the most elegant and fun wine tastings I have run! So glad to be a part of your celebration!
