Wine Tasting

A wine tasting party is a fun way to get everyone together. Just get some bottles of wine and invite some of your neighbors and friends over. Now at first you might be thinking that this is going to cost me a lot of money but there are all different types of wine that range in all different prices. I have come across a wine brand called Arbor Mist it is extremely reasonably priced and it comes in many different flavors. I personally like the Blackberry Merlot I would have to say that this is my favorite flavor of theirs. However many of their flavors are very good they also have a white zinfandel that is a fruity one which tastes very good as well. Now back to the wine tasting party if you do not want to buy all the wine just have everyone bring a bottle of their choice and you can get a variety that way and you only have to buy a few bottles of wine on your own then I would buy two or three just to be safe in case someone does not end up bringing one this way you do not run out. I have had wine tasting parties before and they are a very good time it is nice to just get a group of people together and catch up with people you have not talked to in a while. It is also a lot of fun when someone brings someone new so you get to meet them to. Also wine tastings are usually a smaller group of people which is nice one the days that you do not want to have a huge party but you still want to get some people together.

Networking

Some people say that drinking games are bad because some encourage binge drinking. However I do not agree with this since no one is forcing you to drink or to play it is your choice. Drinking games are a great way to socialize and to meet new people. If your just moving into your apartment inviting your neighbors over for some games is fun for everyone and it allows you to meet your neighbors so you make some new friends but you also have a neighbor that you can rely on to help you in case something ever happens such as being locked out of your apartment or if you run out of something in the middle of making dinner if you know your neighbors they are more likely to loan you something then if you have never met them. Also it is nice meeting more people especially where you live so that everyone can help each other out. It is great to make friends with your neighbors because when you have them over they are more likely to invite you over next time they have a party and then you will meet more people. This is a great way to start networking. Especially in today’s society every ones success is based off of who they know lately in the recession. Most of the people that I know that have jobs only have them because of who they know. When you are in college these are the people who are going to be the next generation working that is going to be hiring people eventually. You want to be able to meet as many people as you can to be successful in your future and drinking games and parties can be the start of this.
