Wine Tasting Invitation

My friend and I were looking around, and we found posted to his fridge an invitation to a wine tasting titled "Naked Wine Tasting" for his parents. We were in an argument weather it was a marketing gimik, or a nude wine testing party. We went to their website, but that didn't answer many questions. For every point for me, there was one for him. We're wondering, if anyone actually knows?

Simply brilliant marketing, my dear. You'll have to check out Great Sex Brewing, then ;)

Save the Date for the Res Publica Wine Tasting Celebrating the Class of 2011.

Do you have a specific theme to the event? For example, all red wines or all white wines or a specific grape. How about:

"Wine not come and try some ___________?"

I've never been to a wine tasting so I don't know what to expect. Should I decline the invitation?

You should go and keep an open mind. There should be lots of food to try along with other beverages so you won't be stuck without anything to consume if you don't find anything that works for you. You don't have to drink all that much at a tasting event, just enough to get to your tastebuds so you don't have to expose yourself too much. As a tasting newbie, you might want to skip the early, dry wines and focus on the sweeter wines as they are more accessible to those not so into wine.

I'd like to host a wine party and have each guest bring at least one bottle of their favorite. What types of food should I have available?
Also, should I contact a wine shop about making it a full-blown wine-tasting party? If you're familiar with hosting those, what can you tell me? (I'm not sure how many people I'm going to have, etc.)

The best tip gets 10 points ... and maybe an invitation if you live around Wausau, Wis.!

An exciting wine party is the "brown bag wine bash". To set up this party you tell every guest to bring a bottle of wine below a certain price range, and bring a brown paper bag that covers the wine bottle. Capping the price ensures the wines are all about even (A "No chuck shaw" rule might be needed if you have cheap friends =) ). Number each bag and you have a blind tasting! This setup encourages everyone to try each wine and comment on the flavors. I like to set up a big whiteboard so everyone can leave comments about each bottle.

The order of the wine tasting is important. Either make people bring only reds or only whites, or separate the whites from the reds and bring out the whites first. The whites should be chilled (~50F) and the reds should be served at room temp.

For food, just have appetizers in small portions. I'd check websites like foodnetwork.com, epicurious.com, and foodandwine.com for good wine parings and recipes. Make the food fit the wine, red or white. Make sure to have a variety since you don't know what wine your guests will bring.

Putting out a "spit bucket" will give people the idea that they don't have to drink a glass they don't like. Plus, people are less likely to lose their palette from over-consumption.

Enjoy!

The invite says "let's stock their bar for their new life". I want to have guests bring wine for wine tasting at the party too, what's the best way (if any) to word this on the invitation?

ask guest to bring their favourite wine (and cheese if you like) to help the couple find a new favorite wine. if you like, you can even decide that the best wine of the night (in the right price range) will be served at your wedding.

just say "bring a bottle of your favorite wine". no reasons to dance around it, it's not as though you're saying something impolite. and have fun, it sounds like it will be great!
