“Hayley, we really appreciated your coordinating our (wine tasting) event. Everyone had a GREAT time, and are still talking about it today. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into the teaching points for mastering the restaurant wine list. There are pointers there that were useful not just to those in attendance but to others that were not able to make the event, that I think will benefit our organization for years to come. Your wine selection was wonderful (I have picked up a couple of those bottles since) and the food pairings were fantastic. Again thank you all for hosting a wonderful event. The hospitality you and Gary showed helped me to focus on our arrived guests while more came in. Such a big help!
We will keep you on mind for future events, and I will reach out to you when I head to Oregon later this year for thoughts on ‘must visit’ wineries.”
