My thought is to have a series of paired comparisons within the same style or the same grape for them to sample – a light Prosecco with a Champagne brut, an oaked Cal Chard with a minerally French Chard, etc. all the way through a couple of desert wines. I was thinking of about five tasting pairs in total. The wine selections would not be terribly expensive, with a target of less than $30 per bottle. Most of the wines would be pulled from my cellar.
Does this seem like an interesting wine tasting for a group of relative novices to gain an appreciation for the diversity in even similar wines? My hope would be capture their imaginations and get them interested in exploring more on their own. Does anyone have other tasting suggestions for such a group?
