Welcome to Tasting Notes
See us in action…
Presenting a guided wine tasting delivered like a late-night talk show, with its host and chiming-in house band.
Learn how to spot the way a wine’s been made, why the bottle appears on our shelves, and hear the stories that define the world’s wine regions from sommelier and saxophonist Charlie. He takes no responsibility for turning you into a snob.
Between each serving the band lays down a mix of jazz, funk, blues, and latin bossa - that is if they haven’t asked for a genre suggestion.
Peppered throughout the show are some satirical diversions inviting you to poke fun at wine reviews, or be quizzed on celebrity wine brands…
Have your niggling wine queries put to rest. No matter how much you might know about wine, there’s something for you at a Tasting Notes show…
“Tasting Notes ran a guided wine tasting with live jazz for our company's senior leadership team […] and it went down a storm! The band are fantastic, and Charlie does an incredible job of engaging the audience […] with more than a touch of humour. It was pitched just right – some education without even a hint of pretence, with delicious wine and beautiful music. Thank you!”

“One of the best wine nights I've been to! Charlie's incredibly amusing and knowledgeable, the atmosphere was great and very approachable.
Fantastic flight and smooth jazz to boot, can't beat it!”
Martin N.
“We cannot thank Tasting Notes enough for coming and performing for us. If I’m truly honest, I’m not a great fan of Jazz – although I love the sound of the saxophone – but I was enthralled by the performance the guys gave, they are so incredibly talented. I loved every moment and the feedback we’ve had from many of the 300 strong audience is that they did too.”
Kathy Sambrook OBE, President of Friends of Sussex Hospices
