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

My job includes organizing 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.

This year I am celebrating 16 years working with Howard and Chris and am looking forward to joining them at various events during their 36th 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.  As for white wines I love Sauvignon Blanc such as 2015 Pouilly Fume ‘Plaisir’  Domaine Pabiot and 2015 Louis Vavasour Reserve Sauvignon, – very quaffable and great for any time.  I absolutely love the 2 new Bonville Camille Blanc and Rosé Champagne’s that Olivier Bonville has selected for CMW 35th Anniversary  they are simply stunning.

Happy Drinking!!
