Wine Tasting Survey for TheRagens

Our wine tasting group holds 5-6 tastings per year, generally organized around a theme. Since you've found our pages, we're curious what you think about what our tastings so far. We'd also like to get your ideas on what we ought to try in our upcoming tastings. If you can complete this short survey, we'd be grateful!

For the wine tastings on our site that you read, can you help us make them better by telling us which ones were interesting to you versus those that were not interesting?

The Wine Enthusiast is a great source of glassware, serving and preservation systems, in addition to self-contained wine cellars and other wine storage options. If you're not sure what you need, the company offers a list of 'Recommended' items that cover a wide range of needs through their home page.
Wine glasses, decanters and more: Many choices are available including Riedel and Spiegelau crystal stemware and decanters. Plus, there are many products to clean and care for your glassware.		Serving and preserve your wine, from the most elegant decanters to chillers, coasters, drip savers and more. When we want wine by the glass (when we don't think we'll finish a bottle), we use the WineKeeper which automatically fills the bottle with nitrogen to preserve the wine.
Corkscrews and cork pullers are essential tools. Wine Enthusiast has a wide variety of devices including the traditional Laguiole corkscrew to the smooth Rabbit Corkscrew leverpull types.		Storing your wine doesn't have to be difficult. Wine Enthusiast offers everything from free standing wine cellars to w ine racks and cooling systems that can be installed in a closet or a corner of the basement.
Finally, for great deals, don't forget to check out the clearance items and the Wine Cellar Outlet Store areas.
