“Stuart was recommended to me by my sister-in-law to reorganise, catalogue and arrange an auction of my treasured but neglected wine cellar. My experience of his advice and personal services closely mirrored hers. Without hesitation I would recommend Stuart to anyone needing his specialised expertise and reliability to deal with a similar domestic problem.”
Ivor Montlake, March 2012
“Thank you so very much for all the help you have given me in selling my late husband’s wine cellar. I could not have had a more conscientious and hard working representative. Your concern for me in all the circumstances was most touching. You kindly took over all the arrangements of organising and cataloguing, opening and checking all the wooden cases – all things I could not do myself. It was all a huge help and really much appreciated because, as you know, all of the other auction houses and the individual dealers I approached expected me to handle these things myself. How you managed to decipher and sell the ones with damaged labels was remarkable. I do not know how you did it but I am very grateful to you for sorting out those bottles too. The outcome was brilliant. You found the best markets and made the whole exercise so easy and may I say, once we got to the auction, even enjoyable! I am immensely grateful to you for all your assistance and kindness and besides recommending you to my brother-in-law, who was also delighted with your success, will be happy and confident to pass on your name to anyone I know in similar circumstances. Once again thank you for all your help with the wines and also for the humidors and cigars, that was a touch of genius!”

“Stuart is what they call in the cricketing world, a fine all-rounder. I have known him best as an organiser of fine wine tastings – perhaps a facet of his career less known than his writing, yet in this capacity he has organised a complex array of contributions and logistics culminating in some truly landmark wine tastings, including the best Port tasting I have ever attended. Stuart is foremost a skilled and professional writer, bringing great colour to the page, as well as a sense of fun that is engaging. I’m sure he could write about anything but on wine it is clear that he draws upon a great deal of knowledge and experience. On that subject (and no doubt cricket!) he is a highly commissionable writer.”
Linden Wilkie, Managing Director of The Fine Wine Experience Ltd
