Real Eating sherry write up  

The Insight, November 2004

 

"Seattle Supper Club events are informal, fun, sociable and downright delicious gatherings in the private dining rooms of the hotel. The talented head chef personally hosts each adventurous tasting experience, with the debonair duo of Richard Piggott and Henry Butler bringing expertise and glamour to the task of matching great drinks to great food."

Brighton & Hove Life, April 2004

 

"Brighton Wine School run a number of three-evenng wine courses with the emphasis on informality. The courses are for members of the public who simply want to become more knowledgeable about ordering wine with a meal or buying it in the supermarket. They also teach people how to match wines to certain foods, and how to taste and identify the good stuff from the bad."

Daily Express, 19.8.03

 

"I've always believed the best way to choose a bottle of wine is by the label. For years I believed plucking out a pretty picture or stylish design was the only way to tackle those intimidating rows of bottles.

The Brighton Wine School aims to change that and ... aims to teach people to appreciate wine while avoiding being intimidating or pretentious. A multitude of course are taught by the debonair wit of Henry Butler and Richard Piggott [who] are both steeped in knowledge and passionate about their subject.

By the end of the course I felt I had learnt a lot. The decadance of chucking away wine to make room for the next taster no longer filled me with horror. I will always smell a glass of wine before I taste it and I now read a label rather than just look at it."

on Brighton Wine School's Introduction to Wine course

"I'm not one of those people who enjoyed school ... [but] I need not have worried. The Brighton Wine School is run by Henry, Richard and Ella, and three more un-teacher-like people you could not wish to meet. The format for the evening was delightfully informal, and we met our fellow pupils ... over the first of the evening's wines - a pink champagne, non-vintage Ariston Fils. Very good it was too. Between each course our tutors introduced each wine.

Where else could you be entertained and fed this well for much less than £60 a head]? We're talking six courses here... need I go further? Call and find out when you can next join in."
