Hi, I am Howard and Chris’ P.A. and have been with Charles Mitchell Wines since June 2001.

Born in Harrogate and moving to Irlam in 1981 joining CMW in 2001 where my job includes organising events such as the Gourmet Wine Tasting Lunches at The Alderley Edge Hotel and the annual Christmas Wine Tasting at Mere Golf Club, I also liaise with our Clients and International Wine Producers.  During my time at  CMW  have met some fantastic people who have come on board for a unique wine experience.

In June this year I celebrate 17 years working with Howard and Chris and am looking forward to joining them at various events during their 37th year!!

When I started at Charles Mitchell my knowledge of wine was nil (drinking Hock or Liebfraumilch would probably explain it!!) and never drinking any red at all.  Howard said he would make it his mission to convert me to red wine, and although he has succeeded to a certain degree, I am not a huge red wine drinker, but I can appreciate a good red wine.

My personal favourite red wines are 2014 Susana Balbo Iconic Family Selection Red and Amarone Famiglia 2012, also Santenay Premier Cru – Romuald Valot is stunning.

As for white wines I love Sauvignon Blanc such as 2015 Pouilly Fume ‘Plaisir’  Domaine Pabiot and 2016 Louis Vavasour Reserve Sauvignon, – very quaffable and great for any time. I also have found Rully ‘Les Cloux’ Le Manoir which is gorgeous

Happy Drinking!!
