Course Feedback
“We spent the day looking at the businesses around the table; what attracted us to the industry; what we were doing and what we hoped to be doing. With Juliet’s guidance it was possible to look at our businesses through a fresh pair of eyes, learn new techniques and consider new ideas. I found it particularly helpful as we were preparing for a major re-fit of our wine shop-cum-deli, Juliet’s thoughts were invaluable. The cheese tasting was fantastic, and lunch was sublime. Juliet thank you for giving me another dimension through which to view my business.
We followed this session on at the shop with a Cheese Masterclass hosted by Juliet, gathering cheese lovers from far and wide to talk cheese and wine. A really fun evening of exploration was had by all.”
