About the Wine

Do I need to be 21+ to participate in this event?

• Yes

Does everyone planning to taste need to purchase a ticket/ kit?

• Each ticket comes with 6 bottles of mini wine, enough for two to share, if you would like to receive more wine, additional kits are needed but will only have to use ONE of the ZOOM links that will be sent out prior to the event.

What is the shelf life of the mini wine bottles?

• These wines are best enjoyed within 3-4 months, if unopened. Once opened, the wine should be consumed within a few days.

What is included in the wine tasting kit?

• 6 mini bottles of wine (enough for two to taste) that will be shipped directly to your door

Do the wines need to be refrigerated?

• The entire box that is shipped to you can be stored in the fridge. You may have heard that red wines should be served at “room temperature” but the optimal wine storage temperature is somewhere in the middle of 70F and 45F, so sticking the whole box in the fridge makes it easy! Before the event, be sure to open each mini bottle right before the tasting to let the wine breathe.

What do I need to prepare beforehand for this event?

• Our first suggestion would be to have a strong internet connection! Next is to prepare the wine: Stick the entire kit in the fridge for at least 1 hour and open each mini bottle right before the tasting and let that wine breathe. Then you should gather your gear: At least 2 wine glasses and water.

Do you have any snacks recommended for the tasting?

• You can pair any of your favorite snacks like pretzels or classic potato chips with these wines; or you could pair these wines with more classic snacks are things such goat cheese, chocolate or an olive tapenade.

Do I need a bottle opener?

• No, all wines are twist open.

Can I participate without the wine kit?

• No

Is there a nonalcoholic version of the kit?
