I consider myself a lover of wine. An oenophile, if you will.
:o)
I've always wanted to host a wine tasting, but since my energy has been down to nil and planning/executing a large party seems a little overwhelming at the moment, I decided to incorporate a mini-tasting into a small gathering of girlfriends last Saturday night.
The style I chose was simple, as my guests were admittedly novice wine drinkers: three different varietals, from three different vintners, paired with three complimentary cheeses: Swiss with the pinot, cheddar with the cab, and {my personal favorite} g-g-g-goat cheese. LURVE!
I led the tasting, poured the wine, shared my meager technical knowledge, and had a lovely time doing it all! :)
Have you ever hostessed a wine tasting?
What type was it? I would love to do this again on a grander scale, and would value any advice you might have!
Another item accomplished on the {30 before thirty} list - phew!
Salute!
