Help with Wine Party

Got to be honest I never had party at my home. I am having a wine tasting party and need any advice and help with appetizer suggestions. I am so nervous. Thank you in advance for any reply.

I went to one last week. The hostess appetizers were goat & blue cheese, caviar, crackers. She also had these small cream cheese sandwiches (tea sandwhich?). The cream cheese was in all these different colors.

EDIT: I forgot to add red & green grapes.

buy a number of different cheeses......mild to strong, soft to hard.....crackers, olives, raisins, cornichons, honey and/or raspberry preserves.

charcuterie......salami, proscuitto, capicolla......crackers or small toasts, grainy mustard,

deviled eggs

crudite platter......with a dip

assorted nuts

a hot dip.......crab dip, spinach dip

fresh fruit display.......grapes, melon, berries, canteloupe, pineapple.

Have never been to a wine party, but do like wine. I would say some varity of cheese and crackers would be a must. Sounds like fun, wish I was invited LOL

If you go to the winery's website they will often give suggestions on pairings that go with particular varieties!

You will look like a wine expert.

Finger foods are the way to go. Definitely cheese and crackers. I don't think you want anything too flavorful to not distract from the wine. I went to a wine tasting held by a wine store. On each table they had crackers, cheese, grapes, olives, a pitcher to dump wine, empty glass, a glass of ice water and a little snack plate.
