BOTTLECRU WINE STYLE CHALLENGE™ A New Corporate Entertainment & Team Building Event BottleCru® is changing the way people taste and drink wine! We’re a wine education company created

by professional sommeliers to help consumers discover and order the wines they love, not the wine

they’re told they should love because or reviews or ratings. It’s based upon a unique wine styles

approach to understanding wine.

Event Goals BottleCru® has developed a multi-media and “blind wine-tasting” experience to lead your clients

through a discovery process which is fun, educational and highly interactive. The goal of the experience

is for participants to discover that wines come in specifically defined styles, and to discover which they

prefer, know how to identify them, and from then on, be able to order and consume their favorite wine

styles. It’s both an intellectual experience and a hedonistic one. It can also be a bit competitive as well, if

that is the nature of the group, as it can be a challenging game.

Event Specifics It’s a great event to hold for company teams. A Certified Sommelier guides the process as the

participants’ experience, learn and have a ball doing the wine styles challenge. BottleCru delivers this

turn-key event at TasteVin Wine Bar & Bistro, 890 Laurel St, San Carlos, CA

Duration: 1.5 to 2 hours

• What we supply:

o 2- Blind tasting flights of wine six wines – three of each variety

o High-quality wines have passed Sommelier review for quality and style

o Wines & cheeses & crackers (other foods can be offered for additional cost

o Blind Tasting Sheets

o Certified Sommeliers to conduct the tasting event • Group Size: 15 minimum participants (legal age) max of 50 people


TEAM BUILDING WITH BLIND TASTING SENSORY ANALYSIS & TASTING FUN

A team that works well together is more effective, more productive, and more successful — not to mention happier and more fun to work with! TasteVin’s Team Building with Wine Program will develop creative problem solving and collaboration skills as well as encourage team bonding. The program includes 2 interactive wine exercises; Sensory Analysis – Name that Smell and Blind Tasting - Name that Wine. The program is designed to be entertaining, informative and to nurture a healthy & fun competitive spirit. It’s wine after all! Sensory Analysis Fun Exercise – Name that Smell 80% of wine tasting is olfactory, you really “rob” yourself of the complete wine tasting experience when you don’t stop to smell the roses - err, wine. Process

Workshop - a 30-45 minute workshop that reviews the common aromas found in various wine varietals such as strawberry & blackberry. Included are stimulating exercises so everyone has a hands on or should we say -- nose-on experience?

Contest – Teams are formed and will receive 10 glasses filled with aromas. They will have 5

minutes to identify the aromas. The intention is team members will work together and submit their collective best guesses.

The Winner - The team with the most aromas identified.


Blind Tasting - Name That Wine! (Blind Wine Tasting Contest): Evaluating or judging a wine is a fundamental part of "wine lore". Everyone does it, and at its simplest level the question asked is "Do I like this?" and then, "Why?" Blind Wine tasting takes your wine appreciation to a new level as it helps you become more conscious and aware of the richness of the wine. And your guests get to be a sommelier for a day! The Process The group will be divided into teams and will try to deduce the wine based on sight, smell and taste. The test is a flight of 4 wines, 2 reds and 2 whites. The goal is to guess the 12 identifiers correctly. A scorecard will be given to each team which has both fill in the blank and multiple choice questions. Now the fun begins, teams will have 15 minutes to analyze the wine and fill out the scorecard. Wine debates are very engaging and typically filled with a tremendous amount of passion. The team will have to decide which the best answers are by comparing their notes and voting amongst themselves which could be the winning guessing. After the test we will review each team’s answers which is always extremely fun and entertaining. The team(s) that correctly name all identifiers wins. The program is led and conducted by a certified Sommelier who will provide additional insights and knowledge that both your wine novices and aficionados will enjoy Duration – 2 ½ - 3 Hours Wine without Cheese? During the program an assortment of cheese, charcuterie and appetizers will be provided. Our catering menu will have just what you need to make this a memorable and unique team building experience.


TASTEVIN MEETINGS

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have an off-site meeting:

That stimulates creativity,

Promotes meaningful and constructive conversations,

Serves high quality delicious food that supports productivity,

&

Concludes with a Sommelier led VIP Wine & Cheese tasting?


Think back to your last leadership offsite meeting, management conference or internal event. Was it held in a dreadful hotel conference room? Or worse, in your office boardroom?

The coffee was probably terrible. The room was definitely freezing cold. Most importantly, did it engage your team or what is just same old, same old?

Meeting in a new environment can be just what your team needs to inspire new action and allow you to get the most of your agenda.
