Why not do yor own wine tasting?

Couple of ways to do it:

Do only 5 wines at a time.

Taste like wines, Chards, Cabernets, Merloits or what every. Each vineyard has a differnt taste no matter which grape it is from.

Taste different types of wines:

Start with a Dry White, then a Dry red, next a Blush, then a Sparkling Dry, and lastly a Desert wine, very sweet. This gives you a gamut of what basic tastes are. Go from dry to sweeter as if you start with a Sweeter wine, it will cover the taste of the rest as is a heavier wine and will cover the others of which can be delicate.

Only give a small sip and then an unsalted cracker to clean the palate.

Have a note pad with remarks or just discuss each taste by the drinkers.

After the judgements are made, then the party is on!
