It was wonderful working with Ralph. He created a delicious, personalized menu for 13 people, given our age range of 3 years to 73. Ralph was very professional and personable from the initial contact, and throughout the evening. It was a fabulous meal. I would highly recommend Ralph and hope to work with him in the future.

Ralph did a great job both putting a menu together that worked for our group and preparing and presenting the food during our dinner. I did this as a surprise and everyone was very happy with how it turned out. Would recommend to anyone looking for a little elevated experience.

I can’t think of a better way to thank your team members for doing their best in a virtual work world than having a virtual wine tasting. Ralph Kridner, Certified Specialist of Wine helped me accomplish this by holding a one hour wine tasting for my team of 16 people on a zoom call. He had selected three excellent wines and shipped them to my team before the zoom call. My team along with many spouses or friends enjoyed a late afternoon of learning about wines. There was much fun, laughter, a quiz and great camaraderie. The cost was very reasonable. My team loved it! This is a great team building event that I recommend to all.

"I have done several guided wine tastings now with Ralph. Beside Ralph’s in depth knowledge about wine and ability to teach all the intricacies involved in making, tasting and pairing wines he is able to keep it a very fun process. Whether you’re looking for a fun Zoom party with friends or a nice dinner with wine pairings for individual courses, I highly recommend Ralph!"

Our team had a blast doing a virtual wine tasting with Ralph Kridner! Ralph made the experience seamless - from sharing pricing, to ordering the wines, to sending out instructions, to finally doing the virtual tasting through Zoom – the process was easy and stress-free! Ralph made the tasting fun, educational and interactive, with competitive trivia at the end. If you’re looking for a way to celebrate a special occasion or simply bring people together, Ralph’s wine tastings are for you! Thanks Ralph – a great time was had by all!

Ralph catered our 8-person bachelorette party and was absolutely phenomenal. He customized the menu to our preferences, communicated clearly throughout the planning process, and left our Airbnb spotless. Everything was seamless and delicious—we couldn’t recommend him more highly!

We recently enjoyed a fabulous dinner prepared by chef Ralph. We had a group of 8 ladies celebrating a reunion in Traverse City and hired Ralph to cook for us with wine pairings. It was a lovely experience and the food was incredible! We recommend this to anyone looking to stay home all while having a wonderful six course meal prepared and served to you!

We had the most wonderful experience with Ralph! I hired Ralph to cook for a Bachelorette party of 12 people. First off, he did a lot of up front prep to make sure we had a great experience. He worked with me to get to a menu my guests would enjoy. He is very communicative and ensures the plan is in place before the night of. That night was like magic. He came in and handled everything from start to finish. Everything was well timed and smooth. The food was incredible. I talked about the filet for the rest of the weekend. Every course was perfect though. I hope to hire Ralph again in the future!

— Maryann Rose

Chef Ralph put together an incredible meal for us. He allowed me to provide insight into the meal and created it based on my feedback. Day of, he was incredibly friendly and personable. I cannot said it enough, how incredible the food was. We will absolutely book with Chef Ralph next time we are in town.

— Annie, Cleveland, OH

Ralph was such a breath of fresh air! Having him prepare our meal for Valentine’s Day was truly a treat. We were able to catch up with our friends over a candle lit 7 course meal with wine pairing. The food was great and menu customizable. The kitchen was then impeccably cleaned afterward. Thanks to Ralph!

This winter I organized a virtual wine gathering with a group of friends across the country and we all had a fabulous evening with Ralph as our wine guide. We didn't want it to end! Ralph was knowledgeable, entertaining, and selected wines that were diverse so everyone from the least to most knowledgeable in our group learned new information and had a great time. Plus, Ralph made it really easy to organize. Wines were shipped to our homes and he provided suggested food-wine pairings for our virtual evening so we all had fun sharing our preparations with our group prior to the virtual meeting. It was a great way to connect at any time, but especially now during a pandemic when we are all feeling a bit isolated. I would highly recommend Ralph and a virtual wine tasting evening. Our group will be back again!
