Personable...
"It's one thing to have knowledge about wine...George's
warmth and style take that knowledge and makes it interesting
and personal. George is a wonderful guide for exploring wine."
— Phil Marzo, President, PM
Design
Knowledgeable...
"This is the most informative food and beverage training
that we have ever received at the hotel...George provides
an outstanding foundation for food and wine service...he
is a captivating speaker who is truly passionate about the business."
— Vikram Sood, Director of Operations
- L'Auberge Del Mar Resort, Del Mar, California
"What a terrific course. My initial expectations were exceeded
by miles. George's knowledge, personality, and ability to relate
to his attendees (which in each class span the spectrum from the
na•ve to those who think they are experts) and mold each
class almost nightly is truly a credit to his experience and knowledge.
My wife's anniversary gift to me, attending all classes offered
by George, has allowed me to improve my knowledge of wines tenfold.
Whether it's reading a label, ordering a wine off of any
restaurants' wine list or pairing wine with food, George's classes
are first rate and second to none."
— Michael Weinstock, Founder & President,
Portfolio Placement & Resumes LLC.
Useful...
"I greatly enjoyed the series, Exploring Wines...A-Z. The
classes were relaxed and the material accessible to wine lovers
at all levels. George Staikos provides a wealth of information,
not only in his class presentation, but in the thorough take home
packets provided at each session. I refer to them often both in
my personal and business life."
"I think the best testimonial to what I learned in Exploring
Wines...A-Z is an anecdote from my recent trip to the wine country
in California. As my tour group visited different wineries, I
discovered that I already knew almost everything the winemakers
explained to us. I was the only one who was able to answer the
tough questions they threw out to the group. By the end of the
tour, people were asking me to recommend wines. I was amazed!"
— Laura Mastrosimone, Senior
Project Manager, Alpha and Omega Worldwide
Wide Ranging...
" ...George Staikos makes learning about wine a pleasure.
His expertise, professionalism and passion for wine inspires both
new lovers of wine as well as his professional associates in the
hospitality industry."
"George's teaching style can be likened to a well-crafted
reserve merlot...approachable, with lots of substance and structure
behind it. I am very happy that I signed up for the full program
because I learned something new and interesting in every class.
As a result of what I learned, I will be trying Italian red wines
and Port wines more than I would have previously."
— Ed Need, Wine Appreciator
“Thank you so much for participating in our special event.
You met all my expectations and more- we especially appreciated
your ability to be flexible yet find a way to still interact with
the group during dinner. …even the wine enthusiasts in our
group learned a few new facts and their knowledge was stretched!
Bravo! We hope there will be another opportunity to work with
you.
— Marie Smith,
Head, E-Strategy, Integration E Business, Aventis Pharmaceuticals
Interesting, Informative and Entertaining
I found your class very interesting, informative and entertaining.
Discovering different wines that I normally would not have tried
was very pleasing. Thank you!
