Janna makes
a game
out of the wine-tasting.
She
asks
each
guest
to bring a bottle
of wine— $12 tops.
“We
all
like the
challenge
of finding
a good
inexpensive w ine”
she
says.
Guests jot down
comments
and
rate the
wines,
then Janna tallies the points.
“Often
the least
expensive wine
ends
up being the favorite,”
she
says.
N o te w o r t h y
Tasting cards—just plain note cards
embellished with rubber-stamped leaves,

— tic in with the decor For wineglass
tags, Janna punched leaf shapes and tied them
around the glass stems with waxed twine.
T a s t y b it e s
Simple nibbles arc all it takes to please guests.
Pears and cheese placed on a cutting board are
ready for carving,

snack mix scooped out of a cookie jar.

“Whenever I buy something, it has to have
more than one purpose” Janna says of her
decorations,
below.
“It's an easy way to carry
through a theme.” Punched leaves become
tags, napkin ring holders, or place cards. ■
