The Wine Tasting Party Kit was a real hit and included six reusable cloth bags to hide the wine bottles, rating sheets, and wine glass stem labels. The enclosed book is very basic but can provide a jumping off point to select a theme for your party. A good investment if you want to have a series of parties with your friends.

This kit is perfect for beginners. I didn't have a clue of how to get started in planning a party and this kit took the guess work out of EVERYTHING. However, it is very interactive and I reccomend keeping your guest list small (4-5 people/4-5 bottles).

I've used other wine tasting kits and I like this one best. The bags are a nice quality of fabric, the pads where you write your tasting notes have good categories and overall it's a good price for what you get. There is a lot of extra paper in the note pads so this will last for a long time.
