Join ISES for the first of this years networking events 'Something to Wine about'.
Francis Gimblett from Taste of the Vine will give you a virtual tour of your palette! In what will be an enjoyable, creative and highly interactive wine tasting experience, Francis will not only fine tune your wine tasting skills but also give you a fun introduction to the world of wine investment and explore what wine tasting can do for relationship building and connecting with your clients, colleagues and peers. Speaker Francis has been passionate about wine since a spell as trainee manager at the Grand Hotel in Brighton. There he found a love for the subject and became a sommelier. A promotion to head sommelier followed nine months later, only a year after he was legally entitled to drink! Eager to experience more he moved to London, where he worked for a fine wine and whisky importer. After four years that included many tastings, travel and all the requisite exams, it was time for a sabbatical and he left the country to try his hand atwinemaking.He later returned to London, having worked in wineries in Australia, New Zealand, California and Romania. His experiences led him to prepare training courses for the hotel and restaurant industry and many of the formats have evolved into wine tasting shows for Taste of the Vine, which Francis started in 1996.
