Christmas Wine Tasting Party

What better time than the holidays to have a wine tasting party

You can have a party with very little work.......wine,  cheese,  assorted breads, nuts,  some fruit.   No cooking!

I have the family dining room decorated for Christmas,  so let's have the party there....

Have your guest bring a bottle of their favorite wine

Dig out your prettiest glasses....they don't have to be wine glasses.....

Have stacks of small plates for your guests to fill with simple finger food.....



I also wanted to show you how elegant simple glass plates on a place mat of sheet music can be....



Pretty napkins.....

I made a quick centerpiece by stacking three dishes,  then I filled the dishes with wine corks,  pearls and hand painted ornaments.

I set my stack of crystal dishes in a tutu wreath that I normally hang on the wall.....
I would rather serve simple store bought snacks and enjoy the party....who wants to slave in the kitchen all day and be tired at your party!!!!

Cheers!

  1. You table is beautiful. I love the idea of sheet music as placemats. I don't like wine. I've figured out I just don't like the alcohol. That's what my husband says.

  4. Lovely and inspiring as always, Penny. What sort of store bought treats would you suggest? I'm not a chef anyway..so store bought sounds good to me.

  9. As always stunning just stunning. Breathtaking! Even though I don't drink, I would happily love to be transported to your lovely party. What a great idea to use sheet music for a placemat. I am going to use this idea. As my mother used to say "copying someone or thing is the sincerest form of flattery. Loved your post!
