To attest to his reputation in the industry, Michael Broadbent, Master of Wine and Senior Director of Christie’s Wine Department in London, England said of Peter at the completion of the German wine festival, “ I have attended, spoken at and moderated many wine tastings around the world, but I can honestly say that I have never taken part in one so efficiently, so courteously organized. You are a genius. Someone defined genius as the art of taking pains in detail, hard work.”
