Chris delivers an excellent event and always makes the evenings relaxed, informative and enjoyable. The quality of wine that CM Wines procure is of an exceptional standard. Chris’ knowledge plus his passion for wine is clear to see and this translates into how he ‘works’ with his audience. I would have no hesitation in recommending Chris or CM Wines to anyone.

Wine Tasting, Private Wealth Bank

From the moment both us and our clients arrived we were made to feel very welcome by Chris and Howard. The organisation was faultless and it was most definitely a unique experience for everyone that attended. The wine wasn’t too bad either! Huge thanks to Chris, Howard and the team.

Wine Tasting, Private Wealth Bank

It was an amazing day thanks. Chris and Howard and the team were faultless in looking after our guests and I think they were all extremely impressed with the prestige winemakers that were available for them to meet. Chris, I can’t thank you enough for a fantastic day.

Wine Tasting, Private Wealth Bank

Absolutely super evening and very entertaining! You were both excellent, I would certainly like to hope you will feature again in our events calendar.

Alison Probert, Barclays Wealth Private Banking

As a ProfileClub member we have had the pleasure of working with Chris and the team on a number of occasions. We have used CM Wines for our VIP events and also recommended them to others. Their knowledge of wine is outstanding and their passions for  fine wine quite infectious. We would wholeheartedly recommend them.

Barbara Hallwood, Managing Director of Marketing Profile

Hi Chris,

We both really enjoyed the trip with you to share the Bonville + Tollet Champagne experience and thank you for organising it all so well. It was lovely to meet Tracey and all the other trippers; a very easy and sociable group.

Looking forward to tasting again at home.

Nigel Hall, Director at Spiral Cellars

Hi Chris

Thank you very much indeed for arranging the trip to Champagne. I really enjoyed it all. It was great to meet some of your other Champagne loving customers and, particularly, to meet Tracey at last!

The two Champagne house visits were excellent, as were the dinner and lunch with superb wines.

I am hoping I can remember everything I learned for the WSET Champagne session which is coming up next month!

Many thanks again and looking forward to seeing you at Spirit of Christmas.

Barbara Goldsmith

Good afternoon Chris & Howard

I just wanted to say thank you for the experience yesterday; some fantastic wines in a very relaxed and enjoyable venue.

The variety and quality of the wines was superb and the knowledge and, perhaps more importantly, manner in which your team enthused about the product was excellent.

Daniel Houseman, Food and Beverage Manager, Ribby Hall Village

On behalf of my Nat West colleagues and our guests, I’d like to put on record our collective thanks to Howard, Richard and yourself for your excellent hospitality last night.

Feedback received from colleagues and customers alike was very positive and alongside a few sales, hopefully the Charles Mitchell name will now have a slightly bigger audience – I’m sure that all attendees will be telling their friends and associates about the quality wines and champagnes that you generously shared with us last night.

I know that you already have a good relationship with our friends at Coutts, but hope that we can use last night’s event as a means of establishing a working relationship with us here at Nat West Commercial Banking in Manchester.

Many thanks again for sharing your passion, knowledge, expertise and of course, a sample of your fabulous products.

Andy Caine, Director of Commercial Banking, Natwest

The event was a fabulous success and feedback from the clients was that they were a very professional company who were ‘low key’ [i.e. not pushy], very knowledgeable and extremely enthusiastic and passionate about what they do. They were an excellent team to work with from the beginning and we will be looking towards partnering up with them again in the future.

Many of our clients ordered wine and champagne on the evening which is testament to their relationship building skills and the quality of the tasting experience offered on the evening.

Nicky Calvert, Private Banker’s Assistant, Coutts, Leeds

I have known Chris and Howard for over 10 years now, on both a personal and business level.  We do numerous events with Charles Mitchell and they always add that ‘extra’ special touch for our clients.  The team are professional, enthusiastic and genuine people; we really do love working with them.

Thanks for your help and hard work.  Here’s to the next event…..

Jo Cameron – David M Robinson Ltd

I have known Chris and Howard for over 12 years. They continue to provide truly lovely wines along with good, honest, straight forward and uncomplicated advice. Wines at their best but with the mystique removed!

Andrew Woollard

We have known Chris from CMW for some five years now and their list goes from strength to strength. The whole CMW experience exudes “quality”, from their tastings, gourmet dinners to their exclusive trips to visit some of the best vineyards in Europe. If you are looking for quality advice, good company and quality wines, look no further than Charles Mitchell Wines.

Steve and Ali Graham

Congratulations to CM Wines on an extremely pleasurable tasting. No strong-arm sales pressure, just an informative explanation of the qualities of their wide range of wines from Chris. Most enjoyable. The key word all through was taste.

Alistair Heys

The Mere Court gourmet lunch event was superb. I cant think of a single point that I would have changed. you and your team were excellent – professional, welcoming, approachable. your knowledge on the different wines was second to none. the range & quality of the wines was amazing and the venue and food were first class.  It was also a real bonus that your highly valued suppliers/producers were on hand to add their knowledge & insight.  Our clients thoroughly enjoyed the day so hopefully that reflects on Charles Mitchell & Handelsbanken.

Keith Bell

I had the great pleasure of working with Howard. It was an absolute delight. He is passionate about his business and incredibly knowledgeable. I would recommend for anyone to get to know Howard and also buy some wine, it is great!

Grant Leboff

Howard is a true expert in his field, and has taught me a great deal about appreciation of fine wines. His events are always very enjoyable, and the quality of the wines is perfectly matched by the level of customer service he provides.

Carl Emery

A really knowledgeable and experienced guy. Howard’s extremely good at what he does and he’s got a fabulous wine list.

Iain Shaw

I can’t imagine that there are many others in the North West who know fine wines like Howard. In terms of his knowledge and ability to provide excellent wines he’s the man to talk to.

Howard is the most delightful Sommelier I know, his knowledge of wines is second to none and the service he provides is excellent. I am happy to recommend him and his superb business. If you have not tried him as your wine supplier, give him a call and treat yourself and your pallette to some of the finest wines in the world.
