Episode 13A: How to Host a Wine Tasting

How to Host a Wine Tasting

In this episode Patrick and I give the tips and tricks to host your own wine tasting party.

Wine Tasting Types:
  • The Vertical Wine Tasting
  • The Horizontal Wine Tasting
  • Old World vs. New World Wine Tasting
  • The Wine and Cheese Tasting
  • The Wine and Chocolate Tasting
  • The Top Ten Wine Tasting
Tips:
  • Don’t pour more than 1-2 oz. of wine. The object is to taste the wine, not get drunk.
  • Try a blind tasting—people’s preconceptions of a wine can greatly influence their tasting experience.
  • Hold off on sharing the price of the wine until after the tasting process.
  • Determine your guest list and send invites at least two weeks before your tasting.
  • Keep the atmosphere light and engaging.
What You Will Need:
  • Four to six wines
  • Tasting card
  • Appetizers
  • Loaf of bread
  • Wine glasses
  • Pitcher of water
  • Dump bucket
  • Brown bags
  • Pens and extra paper
