Wine 101 Chat Room

Tstrgrrl: Hey SipSis, yt?

SipSis: Hiya grrl, wu?

Tstrgrrl: U tasting at Bargain Bins this weekend?

SipSis: Heck no! That place is old and dusty. Just found this cool thing, tho. Tastoria.com.

Tstrgrrl: At-home tasting?

SipSis: Yup. They plan tastings once a month. You register online, then pick up a six-pack of wine at a local shop (you can grab ’em at Gordon’s in Waltham) or have them shipped to your door. They also give you recipes, so the night of the tasting, you log on, do some cooking, invite your friends over, and taste away.

Tstrgrrl: NW! Can u still chat w/ the experts?

SipSis: They stream live video of folks doing the tasting elsewhere. You can post your thoughts on a msg board, and they answer all your ???s live.

Tstrgrrl: Love it. Want to come over on Sat for Sip & Savor Nantucket?

SipSis: I’ll bring the wine.

The next tasting is Saturday, May 12. Available online at tastoria.com.
