I don't want to get too drunk because I'm going to drive home eventually.
I've been drinking more wine than beer lately and would like to sample some new stuff and maybe learn a few things.
Is the crowd real snooty and do I have to dress up?
I figure $50 is a bargain for four hours of wines which probably go for between 10 and 30 a glass.
I'm sure I'll take a few souvenirs home as well.

You get about 1/4 of a glass and you are expected to taste the wine, then spit it out into a bucket. Then you sip water to clear your pallet and move onto the next sample.
About 10 years ago when I was a server all the staff had a wine tasting with some special we were running. One of the busboys drank the entire spit bucket (about 1 litre) for $100 and the somehow worked his shift.
Gross.

Wine tastings are a great time. The last one I went to was "Wines of Chile" and there were great appys and tons of very nice wine to try.
Not sure if you're married or not, but there are few better places to meet women than a wine tasting event. Lots of smart classy women with an endless supply of things to start talking to them about...

Make sure you bring a pen and some paper to write down all the wines you like. Also, make sure to cleanse your palate with cheese or dip between tastes. Otherwise they will all start to taste the same after a while.
I have had several wine tasting parties at my home. Also have had beer tasting parties. All have been big successes. The rule is that once you bring the beverage in the house it is community property. Anyone can taste it and you can taste anyone else's.
