In-Home Tastings

Host A Billy’s Best Bottles Tasting in Your Home!

BILLY’S WINE SCHOOL offers a new way to learn about wine, and to see wine differently. Learn how to select the right wine for any moment and mood.

Gather ten or more of your friends and have Billy Munnelly (and his partner Kato Wake) come to your home to conduct their ‘wine by mood crash course’. A guaranteed great afternoon or evening of education and celebration! Cook some food or have a pot luck dinner afterwards. Sounds like fun? It is!

Our tasting seminar is ideal for anyone interested in getting more enjoyment out of wine, and wanting to overcome ‘wine fear’ and intimidation. This crash course turns wine learning on its head and delivers amazing insights and results. Billy and Kato invite the class to see wine in much the same way as one sees music. “Wine and music play similar roles in our lives – let’s use our understanding and natural ability to match music with mood to springboard our ‘wine playing’ skills. Matching the spirit or character of a wine to an event is the great overlooked challenge in wine. The person who knows which wine to play is the real wine expert.”

In just over two hours you will taste 8 of todays most popular grape types, identify their spirit or character and discover their best use. You will develop wine smarts without the need to study. It’s an experience that will boost your confidence and open up a new world of possibilities for pleasure. It is perfect for the beginner and would be an eye-opener for the ’seasoned wine pro’. Great for parties or birthdays too! AND! All participants receive Billy Munnelly’s Annual Wine Handbook (Billy’s Best Bottles Wine for 2010– retail value $20).

The cost is $40 per person – $45 per on Saturdays – tax INCLUDED. The host is free of charge. The fee includes a Sparkling wine reception, cost of the wine, tasting sheets, Billy’s wonderful little book – and our educational expertise. This is the best deal to be had anywhere in Toronto. Seriously.

You need to supply TWO identical wine glasses per guest (you can rent them or ask your friends to bring their own), a bag or two of ice, and a place for everyone to place their 2 glasses and a 8.5 x 11″ piece of paper. Groups sitting around coffee tables work just fine. Minimum number is 10, plus the host. No maximums if you have the space.

A traveling allowance of @45¢ km will be added for tastings outside Toronto 416 area code, billed from our office (For really long distances, we’ll negotiate of course.)
