How To Taste a Lot of Wine with Your Friends
Are you in a rut with your wine selection? Want to branch out and try new stuff, but you're not sure what to try? Well, here's an easy way to taste a lot of wines with your friends that's also fun.
Have a station set up near the door where your guests can put their bottles in a bag and write down some key information on some index cards. In our case, we hand our bagged wines and cards to the "cardmaster" who will assign random numbers to our wines. Here's a vid from Saturday night where I'm bagging my wines while Patrick, the co-host, plays with the camera:Once everyone's wine is bagged- organize the bottles on a table, give everyone a glass, and have a place to dump out extra wine. Hand out some index cards and pens and serve some food! Then let everyone taste the wines and keep notes (they can take the notes home with them). Make the one sober person tabulate the scores and then do a "reveal". Here's Patrick who somehow got stuck being the tabulator . . . Oh, by the way- I brought two wines. One of them got last place. Yeah, I rock. . . Enjoy. . .
