You invite the guests,
we'll bring the wine (and the stories behind each bottle). You'll
enjoy learning about the vineyards, grapes and regions from the
comfort of your home as the host of a Grape Exchange
tasting event. We can also handle larger venues for corporate events, educational
seminars or fund raising events for your local charity. Give your next
social event sustenance; invite the Grape Exchange.
All “In Home” events are hosted by Michael Grossberg, owner of the
Grape Exchange – they are 1˝ hours long, feature 10 wines. (12 – 16
guests recommended) and are deigned to be interactive, educational and
most importantly fun.
Pricing for our events begins at $600 which includes the wine.
Michael Grossberg has
functioned as Wine Director for Tastings New York City since 2007 and
is current Wine Director for the Greater New York Wine & Food
Festival. The Grape Exchange acted as official wine retailer for both
events.
A few of our best-loved
customized marquee Wine Tasting events include:

A Piece of the
Puzzle Tasting
is an exploration into the world of wine. This tasting is designed to teach you
how to taste, how to buy wine, and how to pick out the characteristics
you like in your wine. By the end of this tasting you are able to pick
out the varietals you like and describe those qualities like an artist
paints a picture.

 Rags to Riches
Tasting
is the answer to the question: “I won’t be able to tell one
wine from another”. We at the Grape Exchange don’t find this to be the
truth. Taste wines from $10 - $50. Can you tell the difference when
you don’t know which is which. Does the packaging give you a hint or
maybe we taste them completely blind? Learn what really accounts for a
better wine and a higher price. |

 Love my Carpet
Tasting
is for the neurotic ones out there. If you have
decided to invite the Grape Exchange to your home and have suddenly
lost faith in your guest’s ability to keep the wine in there glass,
the Grape Exchange will conduct a tasting of only white wines for your
pleasure. Compare Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand to Sancerre,
compare Pouilly Fuisse to California Chardonnay, Rieslings and
Gewurztraminers. The wines will range from the sweetness of Moscato to
the dryness of Pinot Blanc and oh by the way, they won’t stain your
carpet. |
 Generations Tasting compares today’s
New World wines and Wineries to the Old World Wineries and wine
production. How does the French style differ from Australia, how do
wines from Italy and Spain compare to South Africa and the United
States? What does Old World or New World mean and how does the style
impact the wine. Did you know Chianti is Sangiovese or White Burgundy
was Chardonnay? We will help open your eyes to the history of the Old
World and the passion of the New World.
