Some quotes from the wine makers:

"Of all the winemaker dinner events I have done over the years, I cannot think of one that even comes close in terms of generating the synergy between the food and wine. Although we often say it is the job of wine to make food taste better, in this case I really believe the menu you created helped the wines taste better. It is unusual to present 10 wines at a wine dinner. By carefully pairing different wines with each of the 10 courses you were very effective at exploring the complete range of the winemaker’s flavor palette" Erik Olsen

"I have been making wines fourteen years now and have performed many "Winemaker" dinners during such time both in Europe and the United States. I must compliment you on your fabulous culinary skills and your abilities to pair fine wines with your extraordinary cuisine. Rarely, if ever has a meal of such stature and complexities come together with the perfection I experienced" Charles Ray Sandidge III
