My husband and I go to a wine tasting every Thursday night...more because of socializing and friendships than for the wine. We've also done the cruise tastings and enjoyed them a lot. I think it would be fun to get together with a group of people, each one brings a bottle that he or she thinks is good...some easy appetizers..great way to meet new people! We could alternate houses...sounds like a winner to me! The wines don't have to be high end...just whatever tastes good. Only one rule..no wine snobs allowed!
