Re: Hosting first wine tasting event
Posted by bernieclub on April 16, 2005 at 08:05:29:
Usually, 6 or 7 wines is the most the average person can taste and actually retain some real memory of it. If you kill a whole bottle of one wine, the rest won't be seriously considered, so give everyone a small pour, and then move on to the next wine...revisit after all have been tasted. You can try many different themes...by grape, by country...contrasting styles, brown bag (try to guess!). Start with what you expect to be the lightest and/or driest, and move toward fuller and/or sweeter.
Oh, and have fun!
