“Maestro Palmer has a wonderfully refined palate and vast knowledge of world wines. His ability to distill the basic elements of wine and the food it loves has brought my friends and me many wonderful meals over the years. From the simplicity of everyday pairings to the gourmand seeking the sublime, a better person to consult on any matter pertaining to food and wine can not be found unless Thomas Jefferson himself could be interviewed celestially.”

“What a brilliant double-pour ‘Maestro Wines’ is! Maestro Nick Palmer is a seriously erudite yet delightfully winsome connoisseur of both great music and great wines. Maestro Nick’s enthusiasm is as ‘catching’ as his taste is impeccable — in itself a rare ‘blend’. As a graduate of the Academie du Vin in Paris, Maestro Nick can explain everything from domaines to vintages, appellations to terroirs, and bouquets to palates. He was the star turn at my wife’s recent Fundraising Party for the Arts, and everyone left singing his praises.”

“I met Nick through his other self, Nick Palmer, Maestro of the North Charleston Pops. What a fun experience it has been, both musically and otherwise, to get to know Nick and his family. Some may know that I do enjoy a nice bottle of wine on occasion and it was an additional pleasure to discover the depth of Nick’s wine knowledge. He is a graduate of the Academie du Vin in Paris and is putting that experience to excellent use helping others discover the fabulous world of wines. Enjoy!”

“In today's socially distanced world, we have had the pleasure of attending multiple, socially interactive, virtual wine tastings with Maestro. He is invariably inviting, encouraging, engaging, approachable, and informative. We all felt comfortable that no matter our opinion of the wine's fragrance or flavor, our opinions were validated. After each event, we came away feeling more confident and informed of our knowledge of wine and the ability to experience it.”
