tastings!
how it works...
we connect, either via phone or a zoom call, to chat about tasting interests & potential dates/times. then invite your friends/family! we'll also talk about procuring the wine: i don't provide it directly, but i can make it easy for you to find/purchase! i generally aim for $20 a bottle but i'm happy to work within your budget.
after we talk, i create the tasting line up and notes, which include food pairings. if you'd like to serve food during the event, consider making it potluck and have your guests contribute.
you secure your tasting event by booking my time, which is $90 for a 90-minute tasting for up to 6 people.
on the date of your tasting, i come to you and your guests, and you taste 1-2 ounce pours, while learning about the varietals and regions. at the end, all leftover wine is yours to keep, or distribute.
salut!
tasting theme ideas!
varietals explore how your favorite varietal changes across climates and terroir
regions travel to a specific region and learn about the wines that thrive there. i've taken groups to northern italy and france in recent months, where should we go next?
styles how about an evening of sparklers? or rosés? and then there's orange, aromatic, dessert wines... and more
vintages ooo! let's get fancy and find multiple vintages of the same wine and learn what age contributes to the experience!
