Wine Tasters - Share Your Faves!

We had such a great response to September’s “budget” wine theme that we’ve decided to reprise it for November, but with a slight twist. This month, we’re putting the heavy lifting, and the challenge, on you – but with the opportunity for a big payoff, too!

Every couple will be asked to select their favorite bottle of wine under $15, and bring three bottles with them to share with the group. But there is a fun twist at the end…

We’ll start with a short tasting class in which we will break down the components a wine, looking at primary characteristics and how to recognize them, learn a bit about how to taste, and what you should be looking for when tasting.  Then, we’ll take two of each couple’s bottles and hold an open tasting, where everyone can look for those components in the wines their fellow wine tasters brought.

But here is where the fun comes in…everyone will be given a voting token, and as they taste the wines, they will have the chance to drop their token in a bag for the wine that they liked the best.

Remember that third bottle that everyone brought?  Well, those are now the prizes. The couple that brings the wine that receives the most votes takes half of the bottles home.  The next two highest vote getters split the rest.  So choose wisely and you will have the chance to bring home some great bottles recommended by the rest of the group!
