Spear Communications

“The annual UGC tasting in London is one of our flagship events in our international wine tasting calendar
and plays an important role in maintaining the image and reputation of the Bordeaux Grands Crus.”Sylvie Cazes, President of the Union des Grand Crus

“Spear Communications combines fearsome attention to detail with the ability to make it all look not just easy but fun. To single-handedly get le tout Bordeaux into one room at the same time is a feat in itself; to give the impression that really it all runs itself is something else. Ditto Spain: not a single misplaced comma in that catalogue escapes her attention. She simply knows her job inside out. All PRs should be like this, but aren't.”Margaret Rand

“With Sue and Spear I always know I can count on 100% efficiency and intelligence.”Jancis Robinson MW

“It’s hard to fault Sue’s work. She’s accurate, organised and efficient. As a journalist I know she can be trusted to answer the most obscure questions or find the right person who can, all at short notice.”Sarah Jane Evans

“Thanks for organising an event which I think continues to put others in the shade. Very helpful staff and the food is 100 times better than any other tasting, which makes such a difference when you have to stand up all day.”Olly Bartlett, Indigo Wines

“I went to the Wines from Spain Trade Fair earlier this month and was very impressed with the set up and the attendance. Now that we have a growing Spanish portfolio, I am enquiring about participation in next year’s event. It would certainly be a worthwhile exercise for us.”Rupert Nicholson, Carte Blanche Wines

“I just wanted to congratulate you and your team for the good job all of you have done organising the Wines from Spain. Everything was perfect. It would be hard to find something that needed to be improved.”Francisco Macarro, Pago de las Encomiendas Viñedos y Bodega

“Spear Communications has been a vital part of our industry for many years involved in all aspects of the trade. Their expertise runs from the Spanish Fair in March to prestige Bordeaux tastings. With Spain in March they showcase an excellent venue demonstrating what Spain has to offer and cater for all sides of the industry -- importer, distributor , and retailer.”Allan Cheesman, Cheesman Associates

“The annual UGC tasting organised by Spear at the Opera House is for me one of the most important trade events in my wine buying year. It gives me the unique opportunity to review the Bordeaux classified growths and their equivalents in the right bank and Pessac Léognan 18 months after the initial Primeur tastings and to confirm or not ones opinions of a given vintage.”David Roberts MW, Goedhuis & Co

“Charming Sue is a credit to her profession and a boon to the industry, working tirelessly for the clients she takes on and seeing every point through to the last detail.”Nick Room, Buyer Waitrose

“The Wines from Spain Fair has always been very professionally organised by Spear. Sue Glasgow is the ultimate professional – organised, focused, cool under duress and she appears never to lose her sense of humour!”Lynne Sherriff MW
