| “It will be a crime if you miss out on the treasure trove of videos at this impressively designed wine and food pairing site. Watch the winemaker, sommelier, chef and manager of Michelin-star restaurants in London, Dawid Koegelenberg, deftly cook up dishes such as Risotto Nero and Garlic Squid, Tuna Tartare, and Pan Fried Sardines.
He also cheerfully tastes through wines by varietal, offering intelligent notes and food pairings. And the wine range is as delightfully down-to-earth as the host — many bottles are readily available in UK supermarkets. The videos, produced by online strategist Jean Crous, aren’t your garden variety YouTube jobs — they are high quality, complete with maps and graphics. The site also has recipes, wine news and tasting tips.” – snooth.com |

| “I am not a wine connoisseur. I love wine … reds being my almost exclusive favorite but I taste wine and if I like it then I buy it again. The entire sommelier, pairing, tasting experience of wine is fascinating but a bit daunting occasionally. I watch some of the shows about wine but I feel like I skipped a mandatory intro video that would enable me to understand what they are talking about.
Enter Inspector Grape. Inspector Grape makes fantastic videos that are under 10 minutes long and his reviews of the wine clicked for me. Down to earth and informative, I have a new favorite! Dawid Koegelenberg and Jean Crous are behind the Inspector Grape website and you can sign up for new podcasts and videos.” Read more at Foodies Unite |

| “Dawid Koegelenberg, general manager of Michelin-starred Lindsay House, explains how its food and wine matching workshops add value to the business. A lot of work goes into hosting these workshops, and they would be impossible without the help of Lindsay House’s amazing staff … 400 glasses need polishing … menus need printing. Prep might not finish until 3am and, quite often, the same staff will help to host the tasting only a few hours later. It is hard work, but it is so rewarding when we see just how much people enjoy the tastings…..”- Wine and Spirit Magazine |
