Testimonials

Jancis Robinson MW - world's leading wine educator

"When people tell me they want to get into the wine trade, or simply advance their wine knowledge for their personal enjoyment, I always draw their attention to the WSET courses."

Judith Ince - general interest

Like all great teachers, James Cluer's passion for his subject is matched by his encyclopedic knowledge of it. Warm, witty and eloquent, James helps students master the art of tasting, understanding, and appreciating wine. Any student lucky enough to take his courses will drink exceptional wines, learn about them in a relaxed environment, and develop skills to discuss them.

Brianne Bury, Sales Manager, Calibrium Wine Imports

I enrolled with Fine vintages in the fall of 2006 and completed in 2007. I took all three levels of the WSET courses and successfully passed them all. Working in the wine trade I have met with and worked with many well educated wine experts, but have to say hands down that James was and is still by far the BEST. Not only were the classes extremely thorough, they were fun with a little humor. I would recommend Fine Vintage to anyone and everyone.
