The Art of Blind Tasting) he has surprised and delighted with his
uncanny gift for translating his acumen into useful,
understandable and enjoyable information for the enthusiast.”

asset for any brand.”

Southwest France Wine Campaign and we couldn’t have been
happier with his presentation style, knowledge and understanding
of the region.  He is easy to work with, down-to-earth yet
informative, and his passion is clearly evident.”

April Sack, Director of Public Relations – Sopexa USA

“I have known Fred for ten years, and have learned to trust his
judgment about wine and his palate implicitly. I consult with him
whenever we compose our blends before bottling because his
sense of what a wine should be is always spot on.”

Robert Kamen, Screenwriter/Owner – Kamen Estate Wines

“We needed someone that was experienced, informative and
very motivated.  That all came with Fred.  I think in the near future
when we think on who helped put Tannat on the map in the US
we will think of Fred.”
