Choosing wine can be a difficult task, especially when one merlot can taste so powerful different from another. When you attend a wine tasting event like those held at WineStyles in McKinney, 10 minutes north of Dallas, you can "try before you buy". Every Friday evening from 6:30 to 8:30, you can visit this unique wine boutique and try various wines. There are usually four to taste, and often appetizers are provided (at a nominal fee) to accompany the wine.
While this social event draws many guests from surrounding neighborhoods, it also draws individuals from further away, making these tastings big events. Fraction of the appeal of the store is its uniqueness among wine boutiques. It has the feel of an old-fashioned wine cellar, with alcoves lining the walls, as well as counters throughout the store laden with gifts and wine accessories. What makes WineStyles so different and such a contrivance, even for a complimentary tasting?
The store is set up by style rather than organized by grape, for one thing. This makes it easy to collect the style of wine you like, whether that be a bold red wine rich in tannins and full bodied spicy flavor or a white wine with a citrus fruit forward flavor that's light and crisp. Also, the boutique is not the standard high-priced wine store most wine drinkers are ancient to. The majority of the wines the store carries are under $25.00, making the idea of purchasing a bottle of the wine you tasted and loved at the event even more appealing. The wines you'll find at WineStyles are brought in from all over the world and are panel approved for quality before being shelved for sale in the store.
WineStyles invites everyone to come to their open tasting and enjoy the wines offered, as well as to join their wine club, which offers excellent discounts on purchases. You can also let WineStyles host your private event, whether in the store or at a private location. There are always other events to attend as well, such as Texas Hold'Em tournaments, Riedel glass classes, Wine Tasting for Dummies classes, provisional tastings, blind tastings, dinners, and more.
