Unexpected Surprise

Wine and cheese tasting parties can be a lot of fun when you sample wine you normally do not drink.  Many people miss out on some of the best wines out there because they only focus on areas of the world known for their wine.  Try something different for the wine tasting party.  Focus on wine made in areas not known for wine.  You might end up with a great tasting surprise.

Horizontal Tasting

This is a great way to find your favorite wine from a certain year.  With this type of tasting, you will select one type of wine from one year.  However, you will buy wines from differnet vineyards.  This is a great way to see how your wine measures up against the competition.  Many times, people find a new favorite.

Vertical Tasting

You can also try a vertical tasting.  With this tasting, you will use the same vineyard and same type of wine, but different years.  This will help you find the perfect year for your wine, and it can be a lot of fun as well.   You will be surprised how differnet wines taste from year to year, even when they are from the same vineyard.

Wine Scoring Party

With this theme, you will need to have a blind wine tasting and give all guests a scoring sheet.  They will score each wine as they drink it.  Then, allow the conversation to begin.  Guests will want to know why others scored a wine high or low, and it will open up a good conversation about wine tasting.

This is perfect for parties centered on wine tasting. You can also give cheese to go with the wine so people can clear their pallet and nibble while they drink.

Wine and Food

A great dinner party is enhanced with the right wine.  Serve food and also have different wines based on the meal you served.  This goes beyond the typical wine and cheese tasting parties and gives guests a good idea of what food to serve with which wine.

Food and wine go together, and when they are selected with care, they can complement each other.  Choose wisely and your party will be a hit.

Wine tasting parties are rising in popularity, and if you want to be a part of the in crowd, consider throwing one.  They are a lot of fun and also informative. You will be able to find the perfect wine and have fun at the same time.
