Rezensionen
London's funkiest sommelier" The Guardian; "One of London's top sommeliers" Square Meal; "Matt is an accomplished wine writer, educator, and Head Sommelier at Jamie Oliver's Fifteen, on a mission to open a tradition bound world to new generations" Fresh Partners; "Wine is a bit like music or art. What you and I like might be two completely different things, but at the end of the day neither one of us is right, we just have different tastes. And, in a strange kind of way that's what makes the world go round." Matt Skinner
