What people say about our tastings:“Thank you for your warm hospitality and generosity in sharing your knowledge. It was a truly enriching experience. It taught us to sharpen our senses and reinforced the importance of attention to details, while enjoying one life’s may pleasures. We’re looking forward to travelling through different wineries and tasting the wines of the world through your wine tasting sessions…” R.P.”Many, many thanks for that great wine tasting experience! We feel privileged to have been part of it all. You were great hosts and deeply appreciate all the effort and work you put into creating this unique event. Karl, your knowledge and expertise in wines is truly impressive! ” M.E.”Not only did I learn about the proper way to do wine tasting, but for the first time, I understood what wine is all about after drinking wine for more than 15 years now. Karl explained it in a way that was easy to follow, interesting and challenging at the same time. The atmosphere was very friendly and cordial; not snooty and snobbish. Moreover, the wine and food pairings were well thought of as both tasted excellent. Would definitely recommend Karl in future wine-tasting occasions!” I.R.

“Thank you for the fun evening. It was a truly interesting and unique experience. We learned to enjoy and appreciate each wine with our other senses, not just taste. You did an awesome job matching up the different wines with the food too.” J.C.

Drink Good Wine. That is my motto and I really want to help you drink good wine. What is good wine? That can be a different thing for each people. Some people prefer red wines. Some only like Cabernet Sauvignon. MyWinePal was started by Karl Kliparchuk, WSET. I spent many years with the South World Wine Society as the President and then cellar master. I met many great wine makers. I love to travel around the world, visiting wine regions and sharing my passion for food & wine with you. Come live vicariously through me, and enjoy all my recommended wines.
