Choose a part of your home that is free of traffic and extraneous
smells. Limit the number of people to 6 -8 and ask them not to wear perfume or
aftershave. Focus on a country, region, style, varietal, or vintage. Taste only
about 6 wines. Mask the wines, maybe in paper bags with numbers on them. Use at
least 2 glasses or more. Keep pours at around 2 ounzes each. Provide spittoons;
water and crackers, bread sticks or bread for cleaning the palate, and paper
and pencils for making notes. Afterward, discuss the wines tasted and compare
notes. Remember, this is a tasting, so don’t swallow. After the formal tasting
portion, you can party on down and drink some wine and nibble food. Be
responsible and most importantly, have fun.
