PRIVATE WINE TASTING EXPERIENCES
Experience wine tasting in the comfort of your own space. When people drink at home around friends they tend to be more willing to ask the questions they've always had about wine. Some questions that may seem naive at first thought, but trust me they are typical questions that everyone ask. Like, how long can I keep wine after I open it? How long should I save a bottle of unopened wine? What is the best wine to have with fish? And my favorite question... what makes a good wine GOOD? We'll answer the last one for now because it is the most relevant. Simply put "a good wine is one that brings friends and strangers together, it opens up the conversation, makes people smile and sometimes strangers hug." Let us bring good wine to your home! We offer a few options for our Private Wine Tasting Experiences. We can also customize an event just for you, please email us for more information, tuanni@zuriwine.com |
