We had such a fantastic and fun evening with our 6th annual wine tasting party!
Great food, great wines, and some of my most favorite people on this earth!
I enjoyed putting the table setting together.
Our theme this year was California wines.
We put together a play list of the Mamas and Papas, Chris Isaak, Frank Sinatra, Ray LaMontagne and a few others....just a fun Cali vibe.

I made a simple burlap table runner and added some turquoise ribbons to run the length of the runner. |
The invites were sent out a couple weeks before.
I used fresh sunflowers and mini pumpkins for part of the centerpiece.
The real centerpiece was the wine- I used the wire basket to hold all the wines for the evening.

I just love the pear pitcher- we used it for refilling the water.
I made numbered wine bag covers out of unbleached linen fabric.
Tomorrow I will show you how easy they are to make!
Everyone starts the evening by covering the wine they brought in the bags provided- I always keep them by the front door. |

I hope this inspires you to try your own wine tasting party!
They really are so much fun and so easy to do.
Fall just always seems like a great time to do it.
I hope you had a fantastic weekend!
