“I can’t think of a more appropriately named team. Everything that Learn About Wine does is educational. Even to the most wine knowledgeable (included the most jaded professional wine buyer or wine collector) there is always something new and interesting – a discovery around every corner.”
-Michael L. Updegraff
Updegraff Marketing – consultant to the wine industry
“Ian is a very sensitive person, who never gives up, goes to the point and knows how to open doors. On a top of that, he has a very unique instinct which makes him guessing many feelings, behaviors or situation; that instinct avoids a lot of issues or misunderstanding, so save time, so save money.”
- Jerome Jeandin
Taittinger Champagne – US Brand Ambassador
