Wine Tasting Event

I am looking to put on a Wine Tasting Event at my Venu and I was wondering what would be the best steps to take
Answer From Expert Roger Bohmrich MW

To give you meaningful guidance, I would need to know more about the event you are planning. Local regulations need to be observed, and they vary by state. You should confirm that a wine tasting is permitted at your venue - you don't mention the type of premise - and consider all the many elements: number of attendees, glasses, pourers, service stations, tubs and ice for chilling, etc. Of course, you will need to secure the wine itself, and this could mean working with a local wholesaler. So there are some key details which need to be confirmed, and I will be happy to give you further guidance if you post another question after tackling the initial research.
