​

Virtual Tastings:

 -- We can schedule a time and date to have a video conference. I will get you the samples (or you), you will need glasses, water, some snacks and coffee grounds. Why? Let's have a tasting event and find out!

​

How many people do you/we need?

​

 -- Extrovert? Up to 12, or 6 couples -- too many people can be difficult to manage. 

​

-- Introvert? Just you and I can have a virtual tasting online with just you and I, or you with a friend, or you with your pet. 

 

 -- This is an absolute great way to put your phone away for some time and be part of a session where you are going to learn and escape. I can make the event as slow or as silly you would like.
