Serve Champagne
While your guests are arriving, serve champagne. This tip does two things:
It sets the party mood.It also allows your guests to begin the wine tasting
experience, because champagne is a wine you know.
Number
of Guests
To have a great party, you don't need to have a lot of guests. As a matter
of experience, we have found that about four couples (8 people total)
is plenty. If you want to enjoy the party as well, include yourself as
a registered guest. Assign the bottle opening to someone else. Give small
jobs to other guests as well. This will help to take some of the pressure
off of you and give the guests some responsibility. Besides, too many
guests and there won't be enough of the good stuff for you!
Don't
be a wine snob
If you are spouting off quips and quotes like "This wine is a bit
placid yet makes up for it with it's tannic overtones and fluttering nose"
people may leave early. Taste is a very personal thing. Some folks may
love a wine while others may hate it. You may want to educate your guests
with a few words (see eDocument) but keep the party light and fun.
How
Much Wine to Buy
Budgeting
is always a tough call. How much to buy depends on the type of guests
you've invited. A good rule of thumb is 2 bottles per guest. Not that
each person will drink 2 bottles, but everyone may like the same vineyard,
and that 'one' bottle just won't last very long.
