Jeannie, if you are getting back into doing them again before our July 23 trip please let me know. Robert, Carol, Grace and myself enjoyed the wine party last visit and would do it again.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say there. Jeannie does organize the wine tastings, but she does have a sommelier there, who describes the wines and gives information about them. Now truthfully, her wine tastings are meant to be more fun and not straight up serious, as we can attest to, from personal knowledge!

It is one of the sommelier that actually conduct the wine tasting... I am there to smile and make sure everyone has fun!!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Groovin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/circle.gif" alt="" /> Majortiy of the afternoon is presented and overseen by the wine sommelier... My sincere apologies Jeannie. I did not know that a sommelier was present during your wine tastings. I was thinking that your tastings were similar to the ones at grocery stores where you just get to try the wine without the experience of the sommelier.

Jeannie does it right. Sommelier present and he pairs the wines with some food tasting from the host restaurant as well. You get to meet some TTOLers, eat and drink wine. What could be better? It's really a fun night.

We attended one of Jeannie's wine tastings and I have to say, it really was a fun event. Between the music and the atmosphere of the setting, the wines and 'bites' and the really great company, it remains one of our special recent years island memories. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

WE have attended many of Jeannie's wine tastings and they are extremely well organized and very enjoyable. Jeannie does this out of the goodness of her heart and only charges an amount to cover the food, wine and sommelier. She makes no profit on any of the special things she does for island visitors and just wants everyone to have a good experience and fun trip. However, Jeannie has been very busy recently expanding her business in SXM and establishing in other islands, so she may not find time to do these extra things right now. AS suggested,if Jeannie cannot do this when you are visiting, there are other places where wine tastings can be arranged if interested in a group activity.Enjoy your July trip!
