I've just started getting more serious about wine. It's been a casual interest for a while, but I'm wanting to better educate myself. I know I learn best when I have to teach material, so I've started a wine club and have about 8 people signed on and each chipping in $15-20 to come to a tasting that I'll run at my house.
For the first meeting on 18.August, given it's been blazing hot out this summer, I wanted to start with some refreshing summer wines. Vast majority of the group knows little/nothing about wine so I want to test their boundaries a bit with something new, do a little new world/old world comparison, but also offer some familiarity/comfortable options. What are you thoughts on the following;
Sancerre, NZ Sauvignon Blanc, South African Sauvignon Blanc, Soave, Albarino, a Rose.
Planning to pair some light snacks as well, but nothing to labor intensive. Definitely goat cheese but I'll take any recs!
I'm going to buy from a local friend's wine shop, so I may be able to special order if I can get it in time.
