re: wine tasting weekend  

Hi!   We would both like to express our thanks to you and all of your staff for such an enjoyable weekend and once again it was such a pleasure to stay with you.
Our thanks to all the staff for their hard work, and to the chef who surpassed himself
on the Saturday night meal, an excellent menu, well thought out,  a good balance,
and the presentation was everything

The way that the wine tasting was presented was very well done by taking each wine
with each course was an enjoyable way for all four of us..

Next year if the event is on again please let us know     Thank you, Allan and Eileen
