We're Taking a Flight!

Wine flights......growing each week in popularity across the world. It is a great way to be able to have a fine evening out with friends experimenting with several different types of wines and keeping the cost low and still being able to have a pleasurable amount of wine. Most give a choice of 4 or 5 1 oz or 2 oz sampling for $5-$10. I came across one wine bar in Kansas which gives 12...I think that is a bit much even at 1 oz sizes. Flights are tastings of multiples so you can get a real feel for the type you would like to drink. A flight for me on a night out would be sufficient for me to get by the evening on. Remember you mustn't drink and drive. Then the next time you go out for a wine you have a very good idea of the wine you would like to order. It is a great way to educate the public on the fantastic's of wine tasting. Many will not try this but those true wine lover's, eager to learn will jump for joy to this idea. For those bars and restaurants who are truly into this idea they will provide you with pen and paper, but be sure to carry your own. It will soon become an interest to you if you love wine. The gathering of those you enjoy spending time with, learning about the common drink you share. Laughing, talking, remembering wines of before the flight you are on now. The growing you can discuss in the future to where your wine travels have taken you as a group. It is oh such a wonderful feeling to have this human bond and connection with one or more of your special friends. A good wine flight will come with a flyer or some sort of paperwork already prepared to let you know what you have in front of you. This way the only notes needed to be taken are your findings which are personally yours. You may see, taste, smell something entirely different that what someone else may. At times our senses need to be trained for various reasons. I think they should have a "Wine Flight Club" where each week or night of the week a certain "flight"takes off for the evening at a special price.

Consider going on a flight real soon with your friends...we are planning one for an outing. It will be a nice field trip for the group! You can even purchase these flight bars for your home bar at Barnes & Noble and other stores.

Cheers!
