“The Connoisseur Competition is first and foremost a great party idea. Like most hostesses, I loved the thought of entertaining at home, but was often insecure whether my guests would have fun. Would they find something in common to talk about? Would they become bored? When I began hosting the wine tasting that became The Connoisseur Competition, my concerns vanished. Everyone enjoyed themselves, and over time, not only did I become a more skilled hostess, but more knowledgeable and appreciative of wines that I enjoy. You’ll find your favorites, too. The format and theme ideas presented in this section will start you off on your own odyssey.”

It isn’t necessary to specify a Wine Tasting theme, however the more Connoisseur Competitions that you host, the more theme ideas present themselves. How about Italian Reds, Australian Whites, Sonoma Valley selections or Colorado vineyards? Themes challenge participants to try different fare.

While self-discovery is the core to The Connoisseur Competition, many guests want to learn more about the basics of wine and wine tasting. Have a good manual on hand during a Connoisseur Competition for reference on descriptive terms and other fascinating aspects that constitute wine appreciation. .
