Wine Tasting Party Hints
Drink responsibly! Have a ride home or sleeping arrangements for guests who may need it after your wine tasting. Have an option for guests who may come who are not interested in drinking wine - have some non-alcoholic choices available. If you are selecting the wines to be tasted yourself, ask your wine store for some selections. They may even have some ideas for food to pair with specific wines. Food can be really easy! French bread, grapes, and perhaps some cheese (make sure to replenish so it doesn't dry out!) Provide dump buckets for guests to "dump" their wine into if they do not wish to drink it and would like to try a taste of something else.
