Our Entertaining Tips

• Don’t wait for a special occasion to throw a party for friends and family!
  
  
• Choose a theme (by cuisine, season, region, etc.)
  
  
• Have more wine on hand than you think you’ll need, along with plenty of non-alcoholic drinks, too. It’s always better to have leftovers than to run out.
  
  
• Set the tone with music, subtle lighting (try candles) and simple decorations such as flowers.
  
  
• Don’t leave guests empty-handed - offer a glass of wine or other beverage as soon as they arrive.
  
  
• Have plenty of food, and rememb• remember, it’s fine to keep it simple.
  
  
• Keep circuclating! Try to make sure all your guests are comfortable.
  
  
• Small dishes are easy and fun. Prepare them ahead of time or enlist the help of a caterer so you can enjoy time with your guests.
  
  
• Try a buffet - they keep guests moving, mingling and free to pick and choose. Include wine in the spread so your guests can sample different wines with a variety of dishes.
