How Much Wine to Serve
In general, expect a 2-ounce pour per serving (a tasting pour is half a regular serving) -- this means that a bottle of wine contains about 10-12 tasting servings. For a flight of 5-6 wines, 1 bottle of each wine should be enough for up to 10 guests.
Food to Serve
A cheese board with a variety of cheese, small bites, fresh fruit, and fresh vegetables.
Small and easy appetizers; can be store-bought or homemade.
A selection of sweets to end the evening. Chocolate is always a good choice and surprising pairing with wine.
Drink Responsibly
Offer guests a spit cup/bucket to pour out any unwanted wine.
Never drink and drive. Be sure your guests have a designated driver or call an Uber/car service to return home.
