---Pro Tip---
We highly recommend you take the following steps when participating in this event:

1. Swirl - take a moment to swirl the wine in your glass to get some air into it.
2. Smell - stick your nose right into the glass and sniff.
3. Sip - take the wine into your mouth, swish it around,  and see how it tastes.
4. Spit* - this is important as you'll be tasting about several wines.  We want this to be a safe event and we want you to appreciate all of the wines you taste!

*Spit cups, dump buckets, and water will be provided.
