HOW TO HOST A WINE TASTING // FOOD AND WINE PAIRING // BAREFOOT WINES + FREE PRINTABLE PLACEMAT

[@spalm7054]

Great tips Lauren! Wish I was there at the wine tasting, everything looks so good. Thank you for sharing.

[@LaurenNicholsen]

Thank you!!!!

[@rebeccalowry9296]

Great video, Lauren! I really love how you presented your food and wine! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@LaurenNicholsen]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@linp1268]

Hi Lauren. This was really a fun video. I would really like to learn more about wines like the different types of grapes used, from what regions they are from and how the soil also plays a part in the end result. Do you think that is something you might consider doing a video on? Sort of like learning about wines 101. You are very knowledgeable in this field (and of course, much more) and I am sure it could be really helpful to many of us. Thank you for sharing such great ideas on planning a wine tasting. Cheers! 🍷🍷 Lindy

[@LaurenNicholsen]

I would love to!

[@bearg-ma9168]

Looks elegant and bountiful but not stuffy. Very approachable. Love the salami flowers. Will try this for sure. Thanks for the recommendations.

[@LaurenNicholsen]

Thank you!!!

[@michelea2326]

Someone in an earlier comment described your style as sophisticated yet warm... such a perfect description!!!

[@LaurenNicholsen]

Thank you so much 😀

[@danielleS257]

Loved all of this! And I love all Barefoot. Great egg platter too. ♥️

[@LaurenNicholsen]

Yay! Thank you!!!

[@kelliaaron1995]

Thanks Lauren, I plan to do a wine tasting between Christmas and New Years. Love all the ideas!

[@LaurenNicholsen]

OMG!!! Send me photos on IG / happy to help if you DM me there 💕💕

[@gildastigliano8165]

this is GREAT!!! when are you producing books on all of your recipes and presentation tips and tricks????????

[@LaurenNicholsen]

Maybe one day! That would be SOOOO amazing!

[@buzzyboo]

This is one of my favorite videos you've done! Everything looks absolutely DELICIOUS 😋 😍 you have such a talent for making things sophisticated yet warm. ✨❤🥂

[@LaurenNicholsen]

Wow, thank you!!! That is so sweet!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@jessicasmith9599]

As someone who doesn’t know wine at all, this was very informative! And your setup is beautiful- as usual!

[@rachelkivarkis1801]

Wow, what a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful sight. 😍😍😍 Thank u, for all the tips. Happy Holidays. 🙏👏🥰🌟👍🌻✝️🤩❄️🎅🎄⛄️

This was so informative and very aesthetically pleasing (and made me so hungry!). I've recently really gotten into wine and love going to wineries in my area. Loving this type of content!

[@rhondamckinley9051]

Your home is truly beautiful and inspiring. Thank you for showing us all how to create a modern day “Norman Rockwell “ style ! ❤️❤️

[@marymcaskile1727]

Your table and food is beautiful, Lauren. How lucky are the guests to have you present such a professional and creative event.

[@LaurenNicholsen]

Thank you!!!!

[@gingerotto1713]

Great intro to learning about wines; lighter to heavier, pairings, palate cleansing, but I would really like to know more. I know this was just barely some basics and I kept replaying what you were saying. I became more knowledgeable. Plus, I thought all white wines needed to stay chilled. This looks so fun and interesting - wish I could have been there.

[@cw9644]

I just found your channel the other day! I’ve binged watched for 2 days now 😂

[@rosierodrgiuez8179]

Wow thanks for the tip on how to do salami flower

[@LaurenNicholsen]

It is so simple!!!

[@ildikoczako9803]

[@thecrossoncottage]

This was actually super helpful! We need more videos learning about different wines and pairings, etc! Can't wait to host my own wine tasting party!

Love this!!! Would love more wine wisdom from you!! I learned something new about the white wine not being completely chilled!

[@teresahatfield4521]

This looks like a great video. Love all your ideas for the wine tasting and the food. The truffle deviled eggs sound delicious! Thanks for your ideas!

[@LaurenNicholsen]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@thezeeyez7151]

Lauren hey this is lovely girl!! The table is visually eye popping with appeal. There's nothing like a great spread and you out did yourself. Can you do more hosting ideas and romantic dinner ideas? I'd love to also see how you choose your cheeses for the wine tasting and what activities you plan for the remainder of the night. Perhaps you can do a series on entertaining & romance in the new year. I look forward to what you bring us. You slay it Everytime. Merry Christmas to you & your family. Keep the beautiful inspiring videos coming!!! 😊💞💗🙏🏾 Tori

[@kimliner829]

Would love to learn more about choosing the right glasses for the type of wine you are serving..everything wine related ❤️

[@joanndelise7292]

[@natvtxn1213]

So beautifully done! Love those salami flowers!

[@LaurenNicholsen]

Thanks so much 😊

[@ginafriend1690]

I love and do charcuterie boards more often than not. What I wonder, is how everybody can get to it with all the wine glasses cutting it off 🤔 You truly like Barefoot Wine. I know the alcohol percentage is low and extremely budget friendly.

[@lauraanderson2199]

Hi, I am just finding your channel and catching up. Love these tips. Thank you!

[@suzieflowers5696]

Awesome video , I love wine and tastings , Barefoot wine is great , thanks for the information

[@LaurenNicholsen]

Thanks for watching!

[@loramiller5356]

I just leaned something about wine. Merlot is not the heavy. Didn't know that. I have hosted a tequila tasting party (interesting results) but never wine. I always think of wine as being mysterious and intriguing. One of my Favorite movies "Bottle Shock". This was fun. Have a great day.

[@green542]

This looks like a lot of fun, would you do a video on doing a cheese and meat board and other things to add I would have loved to have had a list of the items you used. I love the dark stars not sure what kind of cracker they are but I would love to know. I love doing Charcuterie boards they are a lot of fun.

[@sylviavandegrift1388]

Love how you displayed it all and the tips for each wine thank you for sharing.

Oh wow; I love the giant bow….AWESOME!!

Love Barefoot Rosé my favorite tipple, what would you serve with this wine. White wine gives me headaches what would you suggest in the barefoot range for me. I have never drank red wine but would love to try.

[@LaurenNicholsen]

I love to do strawberries and fruit with a rose!

[@DH-qz2so]

Sweet white wines would be Gewurztraminer, Ice Wines, Rieslings, anything with a 02 code!

[@LaurenNicholsen]

Thank you!!! Moscato, ports, and desert wines are often times pretty sweet as well! I like that Barefoot has "sweet" designated wines, which makes it super easy to find what you like!!

[@chrismahoney4230]

Great idea for the board! I always use wood boards! I see you always use barefoot wines! Is this the company you represent in the wine industry? Also what red wine do you recommend? I always liked a white wine,but recently they have been giving me a headache so I switched to red wine!

[@LaurenNicholsen]

I dont work for Barefoot, but I really love their wines, they are reasonably priced and balanced. I work for a winery that has really delicious wines, but they are very expensive 💕
