Themes: Make your party more entertaining by choosing a fun theme.

country or area such as Italy, France, or California. You could even add to the authenticity by serving foods from your country of choice including baguettes, Italian bread sticks, Asiago cheese, or a French Brie.

· Or try a variation to this theme by hosting an “Around the World” wine tasting with stations featuring wines from various countries. · Add even more intrigue by asking guest to bring a bottle of wine that symbolizes their dream vacation destination then have fun discovering which countries are represented.

Plan a party focusing on only one type of wine such as cabernet or bordeaux, and serve foods that pair nicely with your choices including hors d'oeuvres, mild cheeses, crackers, and breads. If necessary, enlist the help of your local merchant to guide you in making theme appropriate selections.

Games: Add a little challenge and competition to your wine tasting
party by incorporating some fun games. · Blind tasting is a popular choice if your guest list includes wine experts or experienced wine tasters. Cover the labels so guests do not know what they are drinking and then see how many people can correctly identify the varietal, country, or even region of the wine's origin.

· Play a matching game by providing guests with a description of the various wines being served and then challenge them to match the correct name with each selection. For the very skilled, this can even be combined with a blind tasting. · Test your guests' knowledge with wine related questions covering everything including history, production, origin, quality, and varietals. Give all the questions at once, scatter them around the room, or have short quiz breaks throughout the evening. Of course, bottles of wine make great prizes for trivia champions.
