Sunday Kitchen #65 Wine Tasting On Thursday night we went to a wine tasting event at a restaurant in Wolfville called The Tempest. It was fun and I think I learnt a bit about wine. I just wished they had filled the glasses up a bit more As for which wine I liked best, I think they all tasted pretty good. I liked some of them more than others, but I can’t remember which ones. I don’t think I’d make a very good wine taster/critic. “Do you have any questions?” “Yeah, why did you only fill my …

Some people still see wine tasting as a thing for the elite, only for wine connoisseurs, a select few that hold these parties on the weekends. They say that it is not accessible for “normal” people or that “normal” people would not enjoy it. Of course this could not be further from the truth, wine tasting is a fun and unique experience anyone should have had once in his or her life.

Probably no one in your circle of friends or family has ever given a wine tasting gift to someone before, so you can be sure that your gift is very unique. It will be remembered by everyone present and who is told later on. You can of course make sure that this gift is tailored for the one who receives it, whether the person is a beginner in wine tasting or maybe the receiver is very experienced you can go any direction with this gift.

Informative and nice

If the gift is for a beginner in wine tasting then this can be a perfect introduction in learning to appreciate wines and the different tastes there are and how one should select a wine. Often people have tasted some bad wines in their lives and are put of by the idea of drinking another glass. Most times a wine tasting comes with an experiences guide who will help them in discovering the right wine. After the tasting they will know how to distinguish a good wine by the color, the taste and a lot of other characteristics.

When you are looking into buying a wine tasting present for someone you could also look at the possibility of mixing it with a workshop. One such workshop could be learning to match food with the right wine. The days that red wine goes with meat, white wine with fish are long gone, and a workshop on this topic could open up some eyes.

A beginners wine tasting event is always very relaxed and without the serious effect of people knowing what they are talking about. The opposite is true when the gift receiver is a gourmand who is really in to wine and also knows what he or she is talking about. Then you should make sure that the wine tasting is challenging for that particular person. Then the accent should be on the better wines and not on there being a guide present.

Maybe the person that is going to receive the gift would love to go with someone else or a group, then it would make sense to look for a group event. Maybe you could talk to other people who are going to get a gift and you could join hands and buy one big gift, a group wine tasting. The fun would even be greater if that same group would join the happy receiver in this very tasting.

So you see that giving a wine tasting gift is not such a strange thing to give. It is the perfect gift and you will be very unique with this thought.
