Wine Tasting, Martinez, CA

What did you do with Carmen & Danielle?

I hosted a wine tasting for about 30 friends in Martinez with Carmen and Danielle presiding. At my request, the wines featured an area of Southern Italy, a place I'd recently visited.

Best thing you drank?

That amazing white from Southern Italy whose name escapes me because I drank it all :)

Best thing you did?

Hire these two.

The tasting was so much fun!! And it was not your everyday tasting! Both Carmen and Danielle had extensive experiences in the region and wove personal tidbits into their descriptions, as well as gentle instructions on how to taste the wines and what special characteristics to notice. They easily orchestrated the occasion, letting us drift into conversation between generous pourings, shepherding us back to the tasting with tales of the region and wines, letting us imagine the rocky Amalfi terraces and ancient olives of Puglia .... and I honestly didn't have to do anything except enjoy their expertise and delightful company, the company of my guests, the wonderful wines.... my only job was to engage and watch a wonderful event just unfold. It was a dream that I hope to repeat many times over!
