A glass of wine to gladden the heart
If you find yourself enjoying more wine, you'll begin to develop a taste for certain styles and form opinions about wine in general. After speaking with some of your friends, you'll probably discover that they've developed their own tastes and opinions as well. What could be better than inviting them over and tasting a bunch of wines together? People have been holding wine tastings for centuries, and a good time will be had by all. It's easy, as this 2torial shows. If you're enthusiastic about having a tasting, but feeling a little inexperienced about wine--don't worry, this 2torial is also for you. Included here is a review of how to enjoy wine, along with suggestions for hosting an informal tasting.
Before you begin
Many of us consider it sinful not to swallow any good wine that has passed our lips. However, a traditional wine tasting allows the wine to be tasted in all three ways, yet leaves us sober enough to drive home. ... The event itself can be as informal or orchestrated as you like. A neat but basic setting is inviting without making anyone feel stiff or on ceremony. Candlelight (along with other lighting) and soft music may complete the scene for some folks. Some wine is bound to be splashed or dripped, so a pristine white table linen may not be practical.
