Yes! My professor sent out an email saying that the local shop that we do tastings at every week needs volunteers to pour the wine during class tastings. I thought this would be a great way to get to know each wine a little better. This week was my first try at it. It was AWESOME.
I stood behind the tasting counter for two hours and poured tastings to students. It was hard to pour just the right amount - not too much, not too little. If you pour just the right amount, with the number of students that come through, the wine shop goes through about 60 bottles...and they do this all for FREE. One of the men who works at the shop, Randle, said that he prefers his customers to be educated wine drinkers and these free tastings help us to become just that. So of course, he appreciates when people purchase a bottle after the tastings. He has some of the best values I've seen. For example, the Tempranillo I tried this week...the best bang for your buck! I'll be going back each week to pour and I couldn't be more excited!
Looking forward to trying more wines today. Can't stop, won't stop.
Cheers,
Natalie
