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.

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.

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.
