How To Host A Wine Tasting Party

by Wine Lover on August 18, 2011

Hosting a is a great option for someone who wants to have a get together with friends, but wants to try something different.  Less labor intensive than a dinner party, a tasting party is both fun and educational for everyone. Here are six sure fire tips to hosting the perfect tasting party.

Step 1: Preparation
tastings work best with small groups, usually eight to twelve people. The supplies you need are a corkscrew, one wineglass per person, a charm for each glass, paper and pencil for each person, a plastic cup each guest, room temperate water and/or bread to cleanse the palate between tastings.

Step 2: Selection
Here your choices are wide open, depending on your personal taste. For a simple tasting, select 3 bottles each of white and red wines. Another option is to select a theme for the evening, such as Chardonnay wines in the $10 to $20 price range, Provence tasting, cabernet tasting or even wines less than $8. Find a theme that is a good match for your group and sample wines based on that theme.
