Learn More About Wine at Wine Enthusiast's Toast of the Town

One of the best ways to learn about wine is to taste it.

One of the best ways to learn about wine is to taste it. And a great way to taste a lot of different types of wine is to attend a wine-tasting event like Wine Enthusiast's Toast of the Town. The magazine is hosting an evening — in four major cities across the nation — of great wine, fabulous food, and moving music. Proceeds from the event go to San Francisco Food Bank, a company that provides food to starving locals.

The San Francisco event is this Thursday, Mar. 27 and I will be in attendance. Will you be there? Let me know and I will see you there!

For those of you not in the area check out Wine Enthusiast's upcoming tastings in Atlanta, Chicago, and New York. If you still aren't near any of those cities, consider hosting your own wine tasting to toast your town!

Have You Ever Been Wine Tasting?

This past weekend, I was lucky enough to spend an afternoon at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition Tasting.

This past weekend, I was lucky enough to spend an afternoon at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition Tasting. It's a big event that's open to the public. While there I saw some seasoned pros — folks who brought their own wine appetizer trays and wine glass necklaces — but the majority of the people were casual wine tasters, or first-timers. It was a huge sight to behold, and the numbers of wines to try were overwhelming. After a few hours I had definitely tasted my share! So, now I want to know, have you ever been to a wine tasting? How about doing a wine tasting at a winery?
