A Twist on a Wine Tasting Party

No doubt future posts will discuss trends and tips for wine tasting parties; they are one of my favorite parties to throw. Until then, however, I wanted to share one fun way to put a new twist on a traditional tasting party.

Smartsco’s Wine Smarts Game is sure to add levity and a spirit of friendly competition — not to mention an opportunity to hone one’s wine knowledge — to your next tasting party.

Consider playing even an abbreviated version of the game to kick off of cap off the evening’s festivities. A great bottle of wine or fun wine gadget (like the corkscrew below) would make a great gift for the winner(s).
