Bring The Winery Experience Home
Wine tasting is a relaxing and enjoyable pastime that keeps you laughing with friends and loved ones. Bring the winery experience into your home by hosting your own wine tasting party. Home wine tasting parties can be a fun way to learn about and try new wines. With a few friends and key items, you can turn your home into a wine tasting bar. Make the evening a themed night by encouraging your friends to wear a wine t-shirt. They come in multiple styles and sassy phrases. To host a successful event you will need the following:
- Wine glasses
- Wine Bags
- Wine aerators
- Wine
- Palette cleanser (crackers, cheese, etc.)
- Score cards
- Writing utensils
Ask each couple or guest to bring a bottle of wine or snacks like cheese, crackers, and chocolates. Setting a price range, from $15.00 to $20.00, for each wine will keep the wines within a similar quality and age range for fair comparisons. You can also have other guidelines like a certain varietal or wine region for the wines being tasted. Once each guest arrives, disguise each bottle of wine by placing it in a wine bottle gift bag. This will allow for blind tastings. Disguising the wine is important so that guests do not have assumptions about each wine.
Wine bags can also allow you to help aid in creating a themed party. Inform your friends that wine shirts are available in several styles. Wine cocktail napkins are an inexpensive way to liven up the party. They can serve two purposes. You can place the palate cleanser on the napkins for guests to take as they please and the also decorate the space. At $5.00 for a set of 20 you can afford to decorate your party.
Allow your wine to breathe for better quality. Aerators will mix the wine with oxygen, providing the same effect as a decanter but in the time that it takes to pour a glass of wine. With a aerator you can pour one glass at a time, instead of using the entire bottle. If you are using one aerator on the wine, rinse the product before pouring a different wine. This is really only important during tastings so that you are not mixing the wines.
Begin the tasting by pouring one ounce tastes for each person. After tasting the wine, have each person write down their thoughts of the wine; score it from 1-10 considering smell, clarity, taste and color. Make sure to have some crackers to cleanse your palate between tastings. A cracker and a piece of cheese between each tasting will allow guests to try more wines. Repeat the process with each wine. Then collect the score cards, tally up the results and reveal the winning bottle. Your guests will know which wine they enjoy within that given price range. Find a wine scoring card by looking up Su Vino Winery on Facebook. Look for the notes tab on the Facebook page to print out your wine card.

The comeback of the cocktail culture and the growing numbers of wine
collectors and beer geeks is also driving the trend toward well-appointed home
bars.
