Incredible experience with a great storyteller and wine expert
Darryl is EXCEPTIONAL! His career in the wine sector is fascinating, and he created the best experience for us. We tasted 8 wines, which was generous, and the time flew by. We knew nothing about Viennese wines when we started but are now eager to continue our education and see what we can purchase at home.
Operator response
Thank you so much ! And what a pleasure it was to spend those hours with you. Such a brilliant time, and I'm so glad that I could inspire you to experience and learn more about Austrian wines! You both have great palates, so keep on sipping! Hope to taste with you again !

Prost!
Darrel was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The wine was tasty and suited to our tastes. His explanations of the differences in the wines, such as sun exposure and soils, were worthwhile. A very pleasant way to spend an afternoon.
Operator response
Thank you so much - it was such a pleasure to taste with you, and to show you variations in aroma and flavor appreciation along with the other aspects of the seven wines and their regions! The time together was excellent ! Keep swirling !
