I reached out to Philip to celebrate my wife's 40th birthday and the experience was amazing. I wanted to rent a sommelier for the night for my wife and our friends. The event took place at our house and we ordered food as well. First, he was very responsive I told him my budget, my wife's likes and dislikes, and he picked out an amazing lineup of wines. He also picked out incredible cheeses to match the wines. What was also amazing was that he picked out delicious non alcoholic wines for our friends who don't drink alcohol. He arrived on time and prepared everything. Bread was cut, cheese was sliced, wine was decanted, and champagne was put on ice. When we changed plans and wanted to do the tasting on the deck instead of in our living room, he was flexible and just went with the flow. The wines and cheeses were delicious and he was very entertaining. Such a great night Highly recommended for your next party, celebration, or any other event!

Philip was a wonderful addition to our corporate reception, the team had a lot of fun trying new wines and the pairings that Philip provided, he turned us all into wine experts. Very responsive and professional from beginning to end. Thank you for going above and beyond and helping us make this a successful event!

Philip hosted a wine-tasting event at our church and it was a huge success! All those attending commented on how fun and informative he was. We had great communication while planning the event and he worked with us on the cost of the wines. Many appreciated his tips on selecting wines and his warmth, humor and personal stories added to the success of the event. We're looking forward to our next event with Philip!

Philip (the British Wine Butler) lead an interactive tasting in my house for approximately 30 people. We had a Spanish wine & tapas theme and he selected all of the wines, set up a beautiful bar area, and skillfully lead a tasting for us, offering us interesting information about the wines and regions, funny anecdotes, and answered any questions guests had. He was a pleasure to work with and I look forward to booking another event with him, hopefully sooner rather than later.
