The Wine Schmooze


The unabashed Wine Doctor dictionary defines a “wine schmooze” as a gathering where people chitchat, network, meet and greet, nibble, and otherwise socialize, all while sipping on some wine. My 7 golden rules for “wine schmoozing” par excellence are as follows. Never use plastic wine glasses. Serve only finger foods. Have lots of non-alcoholic drinks available. Provide a designated driver, if necessary. Provide chairs although standing makes it easier to mingle. Look good, as this is a great opportunity to strut your stuff. Most importantly, always have a wine glass in your hand, one-third full of wine, juice or water, even if you’re not sipping. This is a vital part of the “schmooze” look. See you there.
