Friends

We have been lucky enough to have crossed paths and made friends with the following people and companies. All of which have either helped, supported or worked with the The Wine Shop & Wine Tasting Co.

Jo Holdaway Illustrator – I actually went to Primary school with Jo! I just love her work, I think its bold, bright, fun and so it was no choice that Jo was the person that I wanted to design my logo!

Clifton Cellars – My first ever job in the wine trade! While I was working full time Alan gave me a Saturday job! Fantastic independent wine merchant based in the heart of Clifton Village.

Oatley Vineyard – A top English vineyard producing two amazing award winning white wines. Iain and Jane allow me to pop along and try my hand at vineyard work. I’ve learnt a lot through having that hands on experience, priceless!

Quartz ABS – The numbers need to add up and Anne is the women for the job. Keeping me on track and showing me without good accounts the business won’t work! She makes me pretty graphs so its easy to understand!

Tudor Communications – Wine is my area, not words, Wenna has worked her magic to make sure my website and publications are saying what they need to (apart from this page as it is from the heart!)

Coco’s Deli – A funky cool cafe in the centre of Weston-s-Mare which is owned and run by my friend Clare. You will often see the Wine Tasting Co’s wine, great venue for tastings in the summer time!

The Food Den – Scrumptious deli run by husband and wife team, Leslie and Paul. Producing superb top quality food! Suppling great wines to match with a special wine of the month!

The Heritage – Owned by Terry this venue is perfect for events in the warm cosy rustic surroundings. Great food, wine and atmosphere!

Time Past Cheese – Wine and cheese perfect partners. I love working with Janice she is fun friendly, efficient and not to mention a very tasty cheese maker! Cheddar Cheese, where else is there?

C3 Imaging – After my logo was designed it was a no brainer to go to Mark Humphries at C3 Imaging. Great service top quality and fantastic prices!

Cheddar Signs – Shaun gave amazing service from beginning to end. Came up with great ideas for the van graphics and made sure it worked well on the van. Quick efficient and spot on.

Maison Loulou – Very excited to be working with Louise who hand makes quality chocolates from local and fresh ingredients. Another top product from Cheddar.

Antipodean Sommelier – James, Tony and team are bringing over boutique wines from New Zealand that are a must to taste. Award winning wines!

Dedan Vintners – Tim Johnson independent wine tasting company which I’m proud to be working with on tastings in and around Somerset.

Rossholme – I love working at this venue, its set in a beautiful location and Judy, Gerry and Pat are great fun to work with.

Weston Echo – Thanks to Oli who is always keen to help and promote local business and services. A great online publication.

Bordeaux Quay – Perfect setting for a tasting on the waterfront in the heart of Bristol. Luke and his team are great to work with and just make any event run smoothly. Not to mention the great food!

Cheddar Ales – I love wine but you have to love a well made beer. Jem head brewer and owner is crafting amazing beer. Its so good we transported a couple of kegs to a family wedding in Ireland and the priest was the first in line for a pint.

Riverside Inn Cheddar – Fabulous pub, in the heart of Cheddar where you will not only find the Riverside Business Club but a great friendly atmosphere food and beer! Plus a great location to host wine tastings!

WOEWSA – Its great to be involved in the West of England Wine and Spirit Association, meeting people who are in the trade. Great place to network and get involved in tastings and trips.
