“In the three years we have featured Karen MacNeil at our events, she has never let us down. She makes our events come alive as she saunters around the room, transcending the subject of food and wine pairing. Our clients are mesmerized as she loses herself in the descriptions of the wine.”

-- Mark Casey, Regional Director, Merrill Lynch

“Karen brought the pleasure of wine tasting to a whole new level.”

-- Charlene Begley, President and CEO, GE Enterprise Solutions

“Karen and her staff are the ultimate professionals. They coordinated our entire event, from the caterer and our menu to the wine and our site arrangements. Their attention to detail is impeccable. When it came time for her seminar, she lit up the room with her style and substance. She is authoritative and warm at the same time, enthusiastic, with great anecdotes and humor. She demonstrates that she knows the chemistry of wine and people, which makes for a wonderful event. The autographed copies of her book were the icing on the cake for our clients.”

-- Peter Zeughauser, Chairman, Zeughauser Group LLC
