4.0 out of 5 stars Lives up to title, March 21, 2006

By	Judith A. Westman - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Fun, August 7, 2006

By	Taylor Blue - See all my reviews

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).
