We began this whole wine party idea because we wanted something to bring our entire neighborhood together at the community clubhouse. A wine party seemed like a great way to get people talking.

Begin by deciding what type of wine tasting party to host.

In our case, we opted for very casual. It’s the first party of its type in the ‘hood… we’re just gonna throw it out there and see if folks enjoy it and want to do it again in the future. So for starters, we’ll have each couple bring a bottle of either red or white wine. Alternatively, you could specify the type for each person to bring, or even provide all the wine yourself.

For a blind tasting, place each wine in a brown paper bag so the wine cannot be identified by the label. Then number the bags so you’ll know which wine is being rated later.

Explain the science behind the traditional pairing of wine and cheese such as in this article.

Make the tasting interactive.

Give each guest their own Wine Scoring Sheet to record each wine’s distinct appearance, aroma, and flavor. Encourage your guests to talk about each wine and how it affects the taste of each cheese.
