This is a rewind-post from last year. We love to entertain and get our girlfriends together. A great way to combine both was a wine tasting party! Cheers!

This weekend Jennifer and I hosted an in-home wine tasting party. We had so much fun!

Hosting a fun wine tasting party. For our decor we incorporated vintage elements, chalkboard art, banner, burlap, wine tags. And of course chocolates, cheeses and wine.The wine tasting is kind of like a modern day tupperware party. We had a consultant, Wanda. Bottles of wine were delivered to my home. Guests were invited . We decided to put our own spin on our decor to add a bit of our own flair and to make our party more festive. We pulled together our discounted and sale craft items to see what we could create. The mini wooden spools reminded us of wine barrels.
