with over 11,000 wineries in the United States, and the USA is only fourth in the production of wine behind Italy, France, and Spain. However, the United States does lead the world in consuming the most table wine.

Given these numbers, it is easy to understand why no one knows all there is to know about wine. Fortunately, the best way to increase your wine knowledge is to explore tasting different wines, and by learning about the differences between wines so you can identify your personal preferences.

Most winetasting opportunities exist at wineries, but in that arena, you are only sampling wine from one producer in one location. Other winetasting opportunities are usually tied to the sale of wine. Randomly choosing and sampling wines at a wine bar or restaurant can be costly and akin to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Another way to learn more about wine is to organize a home winetasting party with your friends and family. A professional can guide you through the wine tasting experience, and answer questions about the wines you have chosen. Not only will you learn more about wine, but it will also be more enjoyable because food and wine brings people together.

I can help you to explore and compare wines in your home by region, grape variety, style and price. I will assist you in choosing the wines to match your preferences, provide information about the differences in wines from different locations and made from different grape varieties, and present the wines to you and your guests. You will learn more about wine in general, but you will also refine your personal wine preferences. The experience combines wine education, winetasting, and socializing with your friends and family. I do all the work organizing the wine tasting. and leading the tasting, so you can simply be a guest at your own winetasting party!

I have developed a variety of winetasting experiences to choose from, but I can modify any of these options to your taste, or design a unique winetasting experience just for you. The vastness of the wine world allows you to enjoy a winetasting event as often as you like, without ever repeating a wine tasted previously.

Winetasting can highlight a special occasion, like a birthday or an anniversary,
or simply create a theme for a social event with your friends.
