Wine doesn’t have to be intimidating. Even better, learning about wine doesn’t have to be expensive. To prove both of these, I decided to devote this month’s column to showing you how you can arrange and throw your very own wine-tasting party. It’s true that you have to try a lot of wines to learn a lot about wine. One way to try a lot of wines is to buy a lot of wines. Another is to travel to various wine regions and visit the wineries where you can sample multiple wines at one time. But both of these methods are expensive, and, unless you are taking good notes, it can get very confusing very quickly. A great way to avoid all that cost and confusion is to organize a wine-tasting party.
