Great tips. Unless my guests prefer to know what they are sipping at the outset, I try to always “brown bag”. It’s a fantastic way for everyone to leave their preconceived notions at the door and just come to relax and enjoy the ride. I also like your recommendation of setting a budget. It’s a great equalizer and I often think that setting a “lower” budget than some guests’ normal spend encourages people to find value at an affordable price. Cheers!

We use dry erase pens to mark our glasses with everyone’s initials and then we number them to cross-reference which wine was in each glass.

I like to keep a porron on hand for an added dimension of fun (a Catalonian method of drinking wine without sharing glasses), and also a decent decanter nearby should the need arise. Although, sampling wines over time without decanting can in and of itself be a fun way to conduct a tasting to gauge their evolution.
