Tasting Theme Ideas & Suggestions
Of course you can enjoy random, great tasting bottles of wine and we are happy to help you do that BUT we think a tasting event is more enriching and a more rewarding experience if there is a theme or focus to it.
Here are some thoughts and suggestions to think about.
Have another idea of a direction you would like to explore? Talk to us - we'd be happy to design a personalized tasting just for you!
Geographic Explorations
Choose a geographic area and we'll help you explore wines from there. Go as broad or as narrow as you wish from region (Mediterranean, European, South American, etc.), country (French, Italian, Spanish, Argentinian, USA, etc.) or a more specific appellation (Burgundy, Bordeaux, Rhone, Loire, Veneto, Paso Robles, etc.).
No matter your area of interest, we can definitely help get you more acquainted with it!
Grape Varietal Explorations
How about exploring the many different expressions of Chardonnay (oaked, unoaked, malolactic fermentation, etc.), or Cabernets from around the world? Think all Rieslings are the same? We can help show you how you might rethink that.
Let us help you explore grape varietals you may be unfamiliar with and who knows, some just might become your next favorites!
Seasonal Explorations
Interested in exploring different styles of Rosés for Spring and Summer? How about some interesting white varietals beyond Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio or lighter reds for the warm weather? Or how about some heartier whites for the cooler weather?
We can help make sure you have plenty of variety to drink all year long!
Price Exploration
Let us know what price range you are comfortable with and we will help find you a range of excellent options within that.
Or pick a geographic area or varietal and explore a range of price points within that.
Ratings Exploration
Ratings and scores may not be everything, but they can provide comfort or reassurance for many. Think all highly scores wines have to be expensive?
Give us a price range and we'll help you find wines that are well scored or rated to fit that!
