Got my first sherry kit! The idea is to maybe try doing sherry tastings on Zoom, though I hate doing videos even more than I hate having my photo taken (and that’s a lot!). But I finally tried out Zoom a couple of weeks ago for the first time, having drinks and chatting with a couple of friends and, well, it didn’t kill me. There are logistics to work out, like getting these kits to people who want to participate in the tasting, and also to send out a list of snacks for them to have on hand for pairings.
From what I understand from friends who do either cooking classes or wine tastings on Zoom is that they are not really viable as a way to actually make money, but it’s a good way to connect and stay in touch with people, either friends or clients. So I am going to do a “trial tasting” with a few friends to see exactly what the costs are re: the kits and shipping. I’m already nervous…
Sounds like a good idea! I have a friend who is doing training on Zoom. Apparently the most important things are to get the lighting and background right, to be in the right position to be face on to the screen and looking straight on to the camera (not up or down). And to minimise the time your cats spend posing or photobombing you!

What about sherry and tapas (supply your own) tastings?

Well the idea is to give people a list of things to buy that will pair with the wines. I could get a shop to put together a package I guess.
