"Oz was Amazing! He was professional, good fun and extremely informative about the Virginia wines. He enchanted my clients and guests alike with his excellent knowledge of not only the wines but Virginia itself. I would be delighted if the opportunity came up to work with Oz again - he's truly a vintage of his own!"
