WINE TASTING THEMES
WHAT A WINE TASTING EVENT LOOKS LIKE
Guests will be welcomed with a glass of Sparkling Wine to sip when they enter because in my opinion, it's the only way to start any event.
Depending on the size of your group and layout of the space, I will direct you toward the best format as far as interaction, learning and fun! We'll work together to fully customize your event. Remember, I'm not associated with any company, brand or winery so I'm 100% non-bias.
I require 50% at time of booking, the other half is due the day of the event. I bring the wine properly chilled and tasting mats for guests to take notes and can provide glasses for an additional cost at $3/glass. A 3.5% fee is added to any credit card transactions.

Guess the Grape Blind Tasting
Ever wonder how wine pros can identify a wine just by tasting it? In this fun and educational blind tasting, we’ll sample 4 wines while learning key facts about each varietal—plus insider tips for recognizing aromas, flavors, and textures.
It’s the perfect way to sharpen your palate, impress your friends at your next dinner party, and level up your wine knowledge—whether you're a curious beginner or a seasoned sipper.
Underrepresented Groups
The wine industry is rich in tradition—but not always in representation. After deep exploration, we’re proud to highlight and celebrate some of the most inspiring, trailblazing voices in wine from underrepresented communities, including:
-
Women in Wine
-
People of Color
-
The Jewish Community (Kosher wines included)
-
LGBTQ+ Winemakers & Winery Owners
Wine has a unique way of bringing people together. So let’s raise a glass in support of these incredible makers and discover some truly thoughtful, beautifully crafted wines.
"Best of" Tastings
Dive deep into any region and explore the Best of Italy, France, Spain, Chile, Australia, NZ, Finger Lakes, Oregon - options are endless. Some of my favorite "Best of" themes include: Best Women in Wine, Best $20 bottles, Best Small Producers, Best Seasonal Wines or Best of Costco or Trader Joes!

Old World vs. New World Blind Tasting
Is there a difference between old
world and new world styles? You bet! We’ll blind sample (3) old world wines next to (3) new world wines side by side and learn how to identify each by learning a very simple systematic approach - most become masters by the 2nd set. It’s a great way to uncover which style you prefer during a fun
competition.
High/Low Blind Tasting
Does price always indicate quality?
We’ll find out during a blind tasting of (3) $20 vs (3) $50 wines learning the qualifiers of a high & low(er) quality wine. Sippers are often surprised when they learn they prefer the lower priced wine! It’s a great way to sample new wines both perfect for that weekday wine as well as your dinner party wines.
1976 Judgement of Paris FR vs CA
In 1976 Napa Valley California was put on the map of fine wines winning the competition of both white & red wines against Bordeaux France. In this tasting we'll blind side by side a Sauvignon Blanc, Right Bank Bordeaux and Left Bank Bordeaux against California comparables and see who takes the trophy this year.
