'El Camino del Vino' has an amusing scene in which he talks his way into a cavernous cellar of a celebrated Winemaker and schemed to be left alone so that he might taste from a dusty bottle from 1936 vintage

Ray Bennet, Hollywood Reporter, #TheWaysofWine Berlinale 2011 Germany

The Ways of Wine ( El Camino del Vino) is an intriguing blend of Fact and fiction....a docudrama that allows a journey through the wonderful world of wine.......Charlie unexpectedly loses his palate...and is forced to rediscover his sense of taste

Mark Adams, Chief Film Critic, Screendaily

We just met in Boca Raton, Florida....Charlie was the Wine Director for the resort! When somebody is as knowledgeable about wine as Charlie is, you give them free reign to choose and construct a world class wine list...and he did. Charlie has a wonderful, big personality which is so important in the restaurant biz. His style was perfect for the resort and internally he was a positive team player....we adore him!!!!

Drew Nieporent, NY Restauranteur, CEO Myriad Restaurant Group

Charlie is an amazing communicator; his passion for wine makes his subject very appealing to all who listen. He is an extremely articulate linguist with the ability to hold an audience in several languages. Charismatic; explosive; charming and he interacts well with people of all ages from any country. A great ambassador for wine!
