Holiday Entertaining Can Be As Budget-Friendly As It Is Fun

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 2, 2011 -- Halloween marked the official start of the holiday season. With economic news drearier than ever, people still want to enjoy themselves with their friends, but they want to do so using a smaller budget. Instead of forgoing holiday parties, The Wine Maven’s personal wine tasting events are a wallet-friendly alternative to expensive entertaining.

“What makes The Wine Maven’s private wine tastings unique is her in-depth knowledge of wine and her energetic personality,” says Denise Houseberg, a resident of The Colony who hosts wine tastings on a regular basis. “She does all the work, and I get to relax and have fun with my guests without breaking the bank.”

Providing wine for 16 people can cost hundreds of dollars. This is what makes The Wine Maven’s in-home private wine tastings such sought-after events. For just $45, a host gets six diverse bottles of wine for the wine tasting—valued at over $150—as well as a wine educator who will entertain and inform. The host invites a few friends and provides some basic cheeses and chocolates for the wine and food pairings. After that, the host can sit back and relax while a professional entertains her friends.

The Wine Maven’s events aren’t typical stuffy wine tastings aimed at wine snobs, as both laughter and questions are encouraged. “My goal is to demystify wine and make it fun for the masses,” says Melissa Darnay, known to her clients as The Wine Maven. “Because of all of my videos on YouTube, people can see what a character I am before they book me. If my videos make you giggle, imagine what I can do in person.”

Darnay represents 23 small-production wine brands out of California that are not distributed through traditional channels, such as grocery stores, liquor stores or restaurants. She offers a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee. If a customer tries a wine club wine and doesn’t like it, she will replace it for free. Because she only offers small-production artisan wine, her wines changes regularly, based on what is available.

Customers such as Houseberg hold wine tastings every few months as a way to try the newest wines and increase their wine knowledge. According to Houseberg, “There is no easier way to entertain. Even after attending over a dozen events, I still learn something new at every private wine tasting.”
