Some press comment on Michael Schuster's tasting classes

"The courses I know best are the WineWise courses run by Michael Schuster at his home in London. WineWise has been going since 1986 which has given Schuster, one of the country's foremost wine educators, the chance to refine and perfect his method, and has also given rise to the best DIY manual for at-home tasting: Essential Winetasting (£20 Mitchell Beazley)."
Richard Ehrlich, INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY, 2nd January 2005.

“Over the years, I have had more positive feedback about Michael Schuster’s WineWise wine courses than any others. He seems to be the perfect teacher: relaxed, informal, yet conveying all the essential confidence building information.”
Joanna Simon, The Sunday Times

"A first-rate wine teacher."
Jancis Robinson's Wine Course

"Schuster is one of the best wine lecturers around. His London tasting classes combine a relaxed atmosphere and a serious appreciation of wine."
Tim Atkin; The Guardian

"Schuster is a genuinely thoughtful taster and observer of the wine scene .... the Arnold Schwarzenegger of wine tuition. As a teacher he is fluent and lucid, and his choice of wines is exemplary..."
Andrew Jefford, Evening Standard

Customers on the Beginners Wine Courses:

"I so enjoyed the recent wine course and just wanted to say how interesting and imaginative you made the evenings .... you have made me think quite differently about tasting wine and have opened up new horizons."
C. Hutchings

"You have taught me much about techniques used to assess wines and, perhaps most interesting of all, you have opened my eyes and my tastebuds to wines which I would otherwise never have tried."
S. Clark

On Blind Tasting practice, from successful Master of Wine Candidates:

"Thank you very much indeed for all your help, support & encouragement to help me achieve the MW. I cannot tell you how much it helped me to have an outsider to advise and restore my confidence in tasting ..... another success story for WineWise."
David Roberts M.W.

"Just a note to thank you, once again, for your brilliant tastings on Saturday mornings prior to the M.W. exam. .... to say they were instrumental to my success would be a gross understatement."
Richard Lashbrook M.W.
