Wine Tasting at the Quasebarth's

A few nights ago, we hosted a wine tasting event in honor of Stacy's 24th birthday. We invited all our friends, and the event was a complete success. Honestly, we were not quite sure how everything was going to play out, but it all worked out in the end.

Each party goer had a designated glass with their name attached to the stem. The design and decorations were created by Stacy, and the food selection consisted of chocolates, cheese, crackers, and assorted h'orderves.

Every guest brought one bottle of their favorite wine. We organized the wine from dry to sweet. The wine was then dispensed. Each bottle was introduced (we rotated introductions by couple) and commented on the wine following the tasting.


Here's a breakdown of our wine comments:
