Wine tasting party

Last night Pam and Tim hosted a wine tasting party! It was great! Many things were learned -- how to take the time to smell the wine, swirl the wine in the glass, how to hold the wine glass (it is different for white wine than it is for red wine), etc. We tasted four white wines, rated them on how we liked them, and then the different wines were revealed as to where you could purchase them and how much they cost. Then we had a variety of appetizers. Then we sampled four different red wines....I think everyone liked the white wines the best, but we learned a lot! After tasting the red wines were were treated to some great desserts and coffee!! My sister is very knowledgeable with wines and she did a great job! I didn't get even get a picture of her...but she is really amazing. If you every want to have any info on what wine to serve with your favorite dinner, or just general information -- she is definitely the person you want to talk to. Thanks Pam and Tim for a great party!!!


Linda and Tom really enjoying the evening!!
Jan and Dave - friends who love wine!!


After everyone got their reading glasses, we were ready to judge the wines for smell, aroma, balance, etc. then we recorded which wines we liked the best or worst.....

Amy is sure she likes the white wines the best....they even smelled better!!
Amy's husband, Greg, liked the white wine better also.

Ruth was full of questions, she never had to work so hard on a Saturday night!!

Thanks Pam and Tim for a great party!!!
