“Several years ago, Nuris presented a wine tasting to my corporate legal team as a team building exercise. The event was so well received, we asked her to present again the following year. She introduced the group to wines that were new to them and provided clear, practical guidance for what to “look for” in terms of bouquet and taste. Highly recommended.”
Testimonials:
“Wine tastings hosted by Nuris are always an exceptional experience from start to finish. She has a talent for breaking down complex flavors and aromas in a way that feels accessible, whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned wine enthusiast. Each wine was thoughtfully selected, and the progression of the tasting felt intentional and well-paced.”
“I had the pleasure of bringing in Nuris to host a corporate wine tasting for my team at a Fortune 500 company. The topic – Wines of Portugal – and the casual, yet informative nature of the event, made for an exceptional experience. Nuris brought a depth of expertise, presenting each wine with engaging stories, clear insights, and passion that resonated with everyone.”
“I’ve been to several wine symposiums led by Nuris Portuondo, including an excellent presentation on Priorat and most recently, Burgundy. Her knowledge and ease of conveying information to wine enthusiasts of all levels makes these events both educational and incredibly enjoyable.”
