5 Tips for Hosting a Wine and Cheese Party

Label Your Cheeses

Guests will appreciate a tag describing what it is they're about to eat, particularly when it comes to cheeses.  A name is helpful and a short description is even better.

What to do With all Those Toothpicks

Too often we hosts take tons of time to make bite-sized appetizers plucked with a pick for easy eating, but neglect to offer a solution for said used picks. Give your guests a place to put their used toothpicks by placing oranges throughout your space with a pick and label reading "Used Picks Here, Please!"

Use Proper Knives

Even if you don't host a wine tasting regularly it's a good idea to invest in a quality hard cheese and soft cheese knife.

Get Creative With Wine Chillers

Plug the drain and sill your sink with ice, or reuse vessels on hand as chillers. Either way you'll keep the ugly cooler you use for football games in the yard where it belongs. 

Coaster Decor

Design is in the details! Get creative with coasters for your tasting. They offer an instant pick me up and a place to rest glasses so you avoid getting wet rings on your furniture.
