The sommelier guided wine tasting was definitely one of the highlights of the Newport Beach Wine and Food Festival(9÷20÷14−9÷21÷14) as shown by the packed house on both days. Jörn Kleinhans, a sommelier expert himself, did a great job moderating the sessions in such a way that they were both educational and entertaining, but also didn’t feel too rushed even though we were covering 6 wines with 4 panelists in only 45 minutes. There were several times that the entire room was laughing(panelists included), which gave the sessions a nice, fun atmosphere. People left with a smile on their faces not only because they learned something, but also because they had a good time.

If you want to take your wine education to the next level, join the Orange County Wine Elite. Wine is an outrageously enjoyable hobby and Joey caters to all levels of oenophilia. My knowledge was limited when I first joined the group a few years ago. After having visited on various occasions, I feel much more confident in my wine tasting and identification of primary and obscure varietals. Don’t be concerned about snobs at the Wine Elite. I have found that most people are friendly fellow students, eager to understand the beauty of wine.

Thanks so much Joey! Cheers!

What a fantastic time I shared tonight, at Pinot Provence sommelier guided wine and dinner event. What a fantastic group. I want to thank Joey for making me feel right at home. From wine aficionados to beginners such as I. I highly recommend this event. Elegantly run. A true and rare delight. Five out of five stars. Joey thanks again. Earthy tones with a touch of raspberries!
