What is a Wine Tasting Party Anyway?

Because I live in sonoma county, I may take it for granted that everyone knows what a wine tasting
party is.

The best way to describe a wine tasting party is to first talk a litte about the wine tasting experience
at a vineyard.

When you visit a winery in Sonoma county you can walk around the vineyard and take in what truly makes
the wine country life style so special. The smells of the earth, the site of rows and rows of grapes
that sprawl over acre after acre.

Once you are amazed by the suroundings, it will eventually be time to taste some of the vineyards finest
selections.

The typical tasting room at a vineyard is beautifully decorated and appointed with glass wear, cook books,
gift baskets and some even have art galleries.

Walk up to the bar and the attendant will give you a menu of what is being poured for the day. The whole purpose
is for you to enjoy some of the finest wines that that winery has to offer while being educated on the varietal,
aging process and other fun facts about vinticulture. Hopefully at the end of the tasting, you will fall in love
with a wine enough to purchase it.

Well imagine doing the same thing but this time from the comfort of your living room! Wine tasting parties are
becoming the extremely popular with wine lovers across the country. It is an excellent way for you to experience
new wines from the comfort of your own home. Think of both vineyard and in home wine tastings as the ultimate try before
you buy approach to purchasing wine.

A wine consultant will come to your home with about 6 bottles of wine for you and approximately 12 to 16 guests to
try. If the consultant is any good, they will have wonderful and fun facts about the appelation, varietal, history,
and food pairing suggestions. A tasting lasts about an hour and at the end of the tasting, you and your guests will
have an opportunity to purchase your favorites.

Once the ordering process is complete, the consultant will clean up and leave the rest of the wine for you and your
party guests to enjoy!

A wine tasting party is an economical way to entertain guests at your home. Wine Shop At Home charges $60 to bring
6 bottles of fabulous artisan wine from the Napa/Sonoma Valley to your home. 6 bottles of really good wine can cost
upwards of $20 per bottle. That is $120 in wine alone. Your Wine Shop At Home consultant not only delivers fabulous
wines for half that price, but also brings an unique and interactive learning experience that is educational and
above all a whole lot of fun!
