Sometimes curiosity leads to knowing things you wish you didn’t. Like when you rummaged through your boyfriend’s e-mail and unearthed hot, naked pictures of his ex. Or that time you found condoms while snooping in your parents’ bedside drawer.

But when it comes to The Curious Grape’s new in-home, educational wine tastings, you’re encouraged to be inquisitive.

The pros will come over and help with everything from learning the basics and identifying styles you like to increasing your familiarity with a particular vintage and furthering your appreciation of a favorite region.

Moreover, they’re happy to work with both (self-conscious) novices and (self-proclaimed) experts alike to devise a custom program — anything as small as an intimate tasting for two or as large as an all-out wine fest for 200.

For each event, they provide the wine, food, glasses, and detailed notes.

In other words, just the kind of juicy information you’ll be glad to have.
