About us

Before embarking on a career in wine, Michael Reynolds has been an actor, musician, restaurant reviewer, and lecturer amongst other things. Throughout all this, a more than healthy interest in wine grew to the point where he finally decided it was time to earn a living out of it.

Fully WSET qualified, and having visited vineyards and winemakers all over the world, Michael has extensive first-hand knowledge of countless wines and wine styles. In fact he's drunk quite a lot of the stuff. The founder and co-director of Taste Of The Grape, and a wine consultant to various other companies, Michael thoroughly enjoys sharing his knowledge and wine discoveries with great enthusiasm, in wine columns and at wine tastings. His events are as entertaining as they are informative, with many clients coming back for more. Wine is to be enjoyed after all!


With years of experience in promoting top restaurants, whiskies, champagnes and wine events, Lucy Rundle's background in alcohol of all kinds is impressive. Also fully WSET qualified, her infectious sense of fun ensures that her wine tastings are lively and entertaining, as well as knowledgeable. She too has run innumerable events, and her enthusiasm for them remains undimmed.

Co-director of Taste Of The Grape, Lucy is determined that all our clients should enjoy as much fantastic wine as possible, and that Taste Of The Grape should help them do just that, in as light-hearted a way as possible. Great wines, great entertainment!

"Just a short note to thank you for the wonderful evening. Our guests have all said how much they enjoyed the tasting, and how much they learned. In spite of the fact they didn't leave till 1 am we will definitely do it again, so expect a call!" (Steve and Amanda, Kent)
