    Personal Sommelier DC - Ashwin answering a question at a tasting.

    I recently took a virtual wine class led by Ashwin and organized by my apartment's management…read morecompany. He emailed everyone with photos and a description of the two bottles of wine that we should buy for class, with alternatives suggested. Was very impressed with Ashwin's ability to engage us over Zoom, educate us in an approachable and warm way, and answer our questions without pretentiousness (what's the best glass for this type of wine?). What distinguishes Ashwin from, say, just Googling a question about wine is that Ashwin actually has a point of view that he isn't shy about sharing (like his opinions about the homogenization of the big champagne brands vs. grower-made champagnes). Especially during the time of COVID, his Zoom classes are a welcome distraction--and an excuse to drink more wine. Totally recommend his classes as a fun group event.

    Ashwin did a virtual wine class through my apartment building - what a fun time! In times of COVID,…read moreit is hard to see what virtual events are worth it - Ashwin's definitely was! He did an excellent job of managing the technology, creating smaller groups to reflect in, and leading a large class! I learned so much and had such a great time drinking wine and learning about the knowledge and history. The impression I got was of a sommelier who wants to not only teach people about wine, but help us reflect on our own culture, our experiences, and how we view the world (and therefore wine!). I went into this class with a fair level of background knowledge, but I still felt like I learned something and I found several good bottles of wine! I would love to take another class with Ashwin!

    For a friend's bachelorette event, I booked a wine tour with Vino 301 Wine Concierge, and I'm so…read moreglad I did! What a great company! Booking was super easy and once that was done, I received regular emails from Vino 301 and texts until the day of the tour. We were picked up this past Saturday (4/20) at the appointed location and time. We boarded a very well appointed van with about 4 rows of seats that accommodated us all. I felt very safe on the rides to and from the wineries. Our host and driver were super friendly and treated us like royalty. Prior to arriving at each venue, we were provided some background and things we should know in advance. She more or less herded us from place to place, which was actually quite comforting. I felt very well taken care of AND seen as I was the only one on the tour not drinking, but I was provided water and other beverages over the course of the day. Oh, and the lunch we received was AMAZING. So much food! I had the roast beef BLT, which came with a bag of chips, pasta salad, and a dessert. Definitely recommend!

    This tour does not disappoint! My gal pal booked Vino 301 for my bachelorette party for a group of…read moresix ladies. I had by far, the BEST time ever! Pro's -Transportation provided and your choice of music (Bluetooth connection to phone) -The girl's and I felt like royalty! -Carla our tour guide was amazing! She and our driver, Patrick, were on time, and very friendly when I first met them. Carla was very knowledgeable. She knew the history of the wines, taste, pairings, and the owners of each winery. -Carla and Patrick made us all feel like family -Each winery we visited didn't feel rushed and we were allotted plenty of time for tastings, enjoying the ambiance (live music), and purchases. -Each guest was gifted a wine holder bag, bottle of water, wine tumbler, and snacks. All the essentials!! -Got to tour three different wineries in the Chesapeake Beach area (Robin Hill, Romano, JaneMark) -All of us were wiped from the tours, tastings, and fun we had. We would definitely do another tour! Con's -I just didn't want the experience to end!

    I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for handsome, I can tell…read moreyou I don't have to look far: What Kevin has is a very particular set of skills, skills he has acquired over a very long career, skills that make him a dream for people who like booze and food company. Not just booze, but sometimes rare and exquisite spirits. Your tasting is tailored to your requests and group size. I was having a small gathering the week of my humble pandemic wedding. There were 7 of us scheduled, which was later 6. Kevin understood my concerns with everyone being safe and prepared accordingly. I had requested a blind whisky and tequila tasting and he arrived early, setup an excellent place setting for everyone, and the fun began! We learned so much about Kevin, but also gained an incredible appreciation for not just what we were tasting, but how we should taste it. At the end of the night we not only got 6 tasting glasses to keep, but also the spirits we tasted! The whiskeys and tequila were all incredible. I'm a fan of rum myself, but everything was incredibly smooth and delicious. Not only was the experience wonderful, but Kevin was a consummate entertainer! He educated us, made us laugh, and left us in better spirits than when we started! I look forward to my next booking with Kevin! Truly. I hope to grab him again for my birthday in the spring. And each of you should consider it! If you've taken my review this far, then continue reading: If you you don't book him now, that'll be the end of it. He will not look for you. He will not pursue you. But if you do book him, he will look for great tasting spirits, he will find them, and he will kill you (figuratively) with his humor, knowledge, and skills as a master taster! Some photos below.

He worked with me to curate a blind tasting for my father's birthday, and the experience exceeded expectations. His presentation is professional, and his selections were thoughtful; he considered not only great expressions of the particular style of whiskey, but unique and difficult to find. It was an excellent evening, and a unique experience to give my dad.
