My first wine tasting

So, last night I had my first tasting party and it went really well! I was invited to do a tasting at my cousin's friend's house, and I was really pretty nervous when I pulled up and saw the 18 bajillion cars on the street. Yes, I said bajillion. However, I was made to feel right at home when the minute I walked in the door, I was pulled into a conga line that was moving throughout the house. Then I knew I had nothing to worry about!! I had so much fun and met some of the nicest people. I started off enjoying a glass of Shirah, then jumped right into the tasting. I shared some interesting wine facts, played the "get to know the host" game and then sampled some wines. The game was a big hit with everyone, especially the wine quiz and the "write a true or funny statement about the host". You know that when good friends are drinking and have to do this, it can get really pretty funny. The women were all eager to try the wines and learn the correct way to taste. They were amazed at the aromas that are brought about simply by the swirl method. My most favorite wine of the night was the dessert wine that I brought. It's an Italian wine called Moscato D'Asti and it was fab. It was so creamy and fruity and actually had "froth". I can't wait to try this again tonight with good friends. Well, off for another day, and I can't wait for my next tasting!
