Wine Tasting Themes | Tasting Ideas for the Wine Club
Select a theme for your wine tasting. It is best
if one person is assigned to find and purchase the wines for the
next wine tasting party. This eliminates the possibility of duplicate
wines from individuals rooting for their
wine.
Wine Tasting Themes | Suggestions & Examples
- Taste six Pinot Noir wines under $20 from any region. The idea
in this tasting is to find a bargain Pinot Noir wine.
- Taste six
Pinot Noir wines between $20 and $30 from different wine regions – Russian
River Valley, Carneros, Santa
Lucia Highlands, etc. The idea in this tasting is to discover
the characteristic of each of these important Pinot Noir regions.
- Taste six Chardonnay wines ranging in price from $15 to $50.
The idea in this tasting is to discover the differences in
quality among a wide price range
- Compare three Italian Barbera wines to three California Barbera wines.
In our wine club, when we finish our current tasting we vote on
the theme for the next meeting. The host researches the wine and purchases
all the wines for the tasting.
