services
1. Corporate
A. Wine 101: #winewizard
Ordering from a Wine List Like a Boss with a focus on red, white, or both. Six wines, seventy anecdotes, multiple glass swirls, and some humorous education. Sometimes making a sale involves breaking bread and cracking a bottle, but it also involves getting down to business and being knowledgeable in what you’re talking about. We’ll help your sales force address something that always seems like the most daunting task, effectively navigating and ordering from a wine list, so they can get back to selling!
B. Beer 101*: #beerboss
Focusing on six different beers and what all the jargon means. Most people 21 and over can appreciate a cold beer during their favorite sporting event, after a long day of work, or even with a good book. But can most take the intersecting differences that hops, malts, and brewing styles create and not be overloaded with information? With a little bit of education and more than a little bit of fun, we’re here to help you sort it out.
C. Spirits 101*: #spiritsavvy
Taking on vodka, gin, rum, tequila, brandy, bourbon, and whisk(e)y from around the world! Perhaps your crowd is more about happy hour than varietals & vineyard designates? Then let’s open your imagination to a little bit of history and technical knowledge of the spirit. What’s reposado? Does a 12 year old scotch differ from a blended one? What’s an XO? Tequila vs mezcal? Does five times distilled really matter?! We have the answers to these questions and more. Would you like to find out?
2. Social
A. Wine Stories: #redandwhitestories
Looking for assistance on picking the right wine(s) for that special someone and would like to include some humorous or historical notes to accompany each bottle? We’ll help pick the wines and write the notes for you; all tailored to that special someone!
B. Cocktail Library: #cocktailsgalore
Is it going to be a relaxed get together, a birthday party, or even an upscale New Year’s Eve bash?! You know you need to have delicious cocktails, but also the right cocktails for the occasion. We’ve got you covered for your favorite gathering, contact us to find out more.
C. Soirées (min 10 people): #partywithfriends
You know what can bring you and your friends together? A few stories, great topics, and a really good meal. We can help you entertain! We can pick the wines that will best complement your cuisine, speak to your guests, and even share some fascinating information about the drinks you’ve chosen. There’s a story in every glass and we would love to regale you with our knowledge.
D. Blending: #nofrogs
Do you and your friends fancy yourselves mixologists and blending masters? Wineography believes that we may just be able to help you create a blend to be proud of! Remember high school chemistry & biology classes, with concoctions, frog dissection, and grades? Well…it’s nothing like that. You learn, but we’re not grading you, and you get to drink what you create!
E. Frenemies – Beer vs. Wine: #pairedaway
We’re all too familiar with the made up rhymes about drinking alternating types of alcohol, no matter the combinations. Taste is the only thing you should be worried about! Let us teach you how to pair when you’re in the mood for different things.
