Hi there! I am new to the site and wanted to post a question. My homemade wine is almost complete. I have been able to taste it and can safely say that it is close to 100% and will be done in about 2 weeks.
I have started out making a Carbernet-Shiraz as well as a Pinot Grigio. Both wines, when I started the first time around, were just horrible. I learned from the experience, corrected my mistakes and have since done another batch of both which will be enough for 25 bottles of the Cab-Shiraz and 25 bottles of the Pinot Grigio.
Now comes the question. I have a decent amount of friends that I want to try this wine. However, I do NOT want to host a private wine tasting party at my home. The main reason for this is because a lot of friends live in different areas, so I want to have a centralized location.
Where do I take my homemade wine to be tasted by my friends? Do I need to speak to a winery to rent out for a few hours? Are there private places or any kind of conventions that let you do this? By the way, I am not looking to sell my wine just yet. I want to see what reactions are first.
