In home wine tasting

Post #1 - February 8th, 2005, 3:41 pmCan anyone recommend someone or a company that could set up an in-home wine tasting? I know that the Trib has a regular listing of classes, but was unable to locate it on the website. If anyone has a copy of that, it would jumpstart my search.

Post #4 - February 8th, 2005, 4:28 pmA couple of months ago we attended a party at someone's home where they hired two sommeliers to do a wine tasting. The sommeliers took the hosts shopping and did the whole deal. I can't remember their names, but one was the woman who's the sommelier at Sushi Samba Rio. She was delightful and did a great job, but I have no idea what that cost was. She would definitely be worth a call.

There's this guy in Oak Park, Jim Matthews, who teamed up with a chef to hold a series of seminars entitled What Goes with What, focusing on Wine and Food pairings. The Wife and I took the class (twice: slow learners), and I was impressed with Jim's wine knowledge, his openess to other people's tastes and interpretations, and his boundless enthusiasm. His site is at http://orik.com/wgww/guys.htm, and he offers the kind of in-home sessions you're looking for.

Post #7 - February 19th, 2005, 11:57 amI really enjoyed the tasting at Que Syrah on Southport near Waveland on New Year's Eve 2003. They had a generous pour and great staff, so friendly!
Their site states they will customize an in home tasting.

Post #8 - February 21st, 2005, 11:36 pmMag, as you know, MsRev is working on her MS. She would be very happy to conduct a wine tasting if you fly her and her husband in from Tahoe. Some excellent wines will be provided. Of course, one of your famous dinners would be appropriate.
