"Great job last night. You were awesome as usual."
Giulio Capua, Publisher, Gourmet Magazine
"I drink more wine because of you."
Kathy Card, Beckles Kenyon & Kenyon
"You were a very important part of the success that we enjoyed at Savor Virginia. You were part-inspiration, part-butt kicker, part-team builder, part-coach, part-quarterback. But best of all, maybe, is that you were both a friend and mentor. Long after we've gotten through the cheers and toasts, I'll remember that we really couldn't have done it without you."
Donna Queen, CommuniQue Marketing
"Thank you for your animated (and informational!) presentation at our High Point dinner. It is always a treat for me to see you in action, doing what you do best, and enjoying it with every breath you take. You had the 180 guests drinking out of your hand, eager to hear your wine expertise, but also embracing your overall philosophy: if you like the wine, then it is good for you."
Amy Adler, Architectural Digest
"You were truly in top form again yesterday and I think we need to start bottling your energy and enthusiasm and selling it! You left the team with a memorable evening they will not forget and we got a lot of calls this morning from the group saying how much they loved it. Thank you so much!"
Anita Rao Keech, Gourmet Magazine
"The dinner went extremely well and you were fantastic at getting all those great marketing points in! I wish you could do all of our the dinners and lunches..."
Katrin Naelapaa, Director Wines from Spain

Nancy Eichelberger, Marriott Corporation
"It was a happy day when we first met you! Thanks so much for all you did, and for being your kind, funny, thoughtful, and smart self. I hope we get to see you again and again and again. You're a real class act!"

David S. Feder, President & COO, Boca Resorts, Inc.
"Our Paper Bag Players event was the way it was because of how you are. The gods were watching over me when I got your name from Gina and Amy. The event was a smash from a monetary and social point of view. 1000 Thanks."
Kathy Mele, Paper Bag Players President
 "Listening to Michael Green talk about wine is like witnessing a sensory explosion. Names such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Albariño flow effortlessly from the mouth of this wine expert, none other than the wine consultant for Gourmet Magazine-as well as for its web site, Epicurious-and the president of Michael Green and Associates Wine Consultancy."
Sandra Gutierrez, The Cary News

"Michael , the evening was absolutely wonderful! Everyone has been calling to say how much they enjoyed your presentation. And the wines you choose were a revelation! You impart a great deal of information in a form that is easily grasped and makes even a wine neophyte feel very comfortable. We shall be singing your praises for a very long time. Thank you so very much."
Maggie Messer
"With 12 Vice presidents from 9 countries and 16 cities attending, the conference was clearly an international endeavor and the International Wine Tasting was thematically appropriate, tasteful, informative and entertaining. We appreciate your efforts that helped make our Global Vice Presidents Conference such a success."
Charles C. Ward III, Credit Suisse First Boston

The wine tasting continues to be the most popular post-performance event at Second Stage Theatre, thanks to your enthusiastic support and guidance."

Again, thank you for your help and key influence for our evening."
Clemons Pietzner, Executive Director, Camphill Foundation
 "The Institute of Culinary Education, formally known as Peter Kump's New York Cooking School, is one of the oldest and most prestigious cooking schools in the United States, and a New York institution. Michael Green has worked within our Special Events Department for almost six years, sharing his love and knowledge of wine with clients in the financial, accounting, publishing and pharmaceutical fields, just to name a few. From the format to the tasting topics, Michael was very instrumental in establishing the wine program for the Special Events Division. His passion for wine and teaching has enhanced the school's programs greatly."
Lynne Granat, Director of Special Events, The Institute of Culinary Education (formally Peter Kumps)
"Damn, that was FUN! Thanks so much for not just conducting a wine tasting but throwing yourself into the event with such enthusiasm. You also took a big load off me by doing the wine descriptions for the staff. I would have done them myself, but they would have been clumsy at best. Yours sang! The staff really enjoyed them, and I even got a lot of positive comments back from guests, as I had hoped. Lastly, Amy shared with me your wine pairing for me, which made me blush. You are a great guy. I hope we get a chance to be together again. Cheers!"
Jeff Petersen, Associate Publisher, Architectural Digest
"THANK YOU for a wonderful two days of wisdom, fun and new energy that you brought to my meetings."
Amy Mehlbaum, Gourmet Magazine
"Thank you again for including me in MERLOT MAGIQUE! It was a fabulous event. By far, the most original wine-related event I have ever attended."
Andrew R. Malkin , AOL Time Warner Book Group
"Your presentation was, as always, fabulous, funny and informative."
Kay Nelson, M. Young Communications
"Thank you so much for your participation and for leading the "Taste Your Wine IQ" quiz with such talent! Your involvement made the evening a fun, joyful and educating experience for all and I am very grateful. I know that everyone there had a wonderful time and was thrilled with the news."
Maguy Maccario-Doyle, Consul General de Monaco
"For the past few months, you have put your heart and soul into The Gourmet Wine
Cellar--an idea that you came up with--and your passion was one of the primary
reasons last night's event was such a great success. Without your vision,
dedication and hard work, there's no way we could have done it!
"Through your connections, experience and savvy, you brought on board an
incredible roster of sommeliers and industry people to anchor the wine
programming for the evening; hand-held and helped shape each
advertiser/winery's participation; developed compelling, educational and cool
seminars and chats (and even found time to host one or two of them); took the
time to pair each chef with a stellar wine...and so much more."
Jackie Torren, Gourmet Magazine
