Wine on Your Time
The interactive, virtual tasting series returns this Fall for FIVE weeks of live tastings featuring SIX fabulous wines!
Wine on Your Time is back for a five-week series starting on Thursday, Sept. 19!
If you love trying new wines and are looking for a fun and educational weekly event, please consider joining this Virtual Tasting Series!
Created in Fall 2019 as a way to showcase new wines to my busy clients, this tasting series has morphed and grown over the course of the last few years. Now in its 9th series, the experience remains about sampling new wines, but I have a strong focus on wine education and food and wine pairing. On top of all that, the series has been a great way to connect with fellow wine lovers on a weekly basis during our live tastings and via our Facebook Group community!
So if you love wine... love trying NEW wines... and enjoy learning about varietals, wine regions, food pairing and more... this virtual tasting series is for you!
Sign-up by Wednesday, Sept. 11 for our Fall Series, and you'll receive SIX exclusive and unique wines from vineyards around the world for only $99. Over the course of FIVE WEEKS starting on SEPT. 19, participants will SAMPLE THE FEATURED WINE(S) each week during our WEEKLY LIVE TASTINGS on THURSDAYS at 7pm Central via Zoom & Facebook Live. In addition, I'll be offering a "Late Night" live tasting at 9pm Central if you can't make the earlier time! Replays will be available if you can't make the Thursday tasting, but I always encourage you to join live if possible!
For this Fall Series, the most weeks will feature ONE wine, while the fourth week (Oct. 10) will be a "Double Header" where we compare and contrast two similar wines!
With the wines, you'll receive membership to our private Facebook Group and a Membership Portal where each week I'll provide tasting notes, food and wine pairing ideas, and additional wine knowledge.
The series will include an assortment of wine styles including one dry white, one "orange" wine, a sweet red, a semi-dry red, and two dry reds. Together, these wines have a value of more than $225!
Featured Wines:
And as always, I love to pair recipes with each featured wine, so whether or not the wine is your particular style of choice, I know the wine will pair beautifully with the suggested recipe!
You do not have to attend live, but I strongly encourage you to make every attempt to join us via Zoom or Facebook Live. Interacting with fellow participants and sharing your thoughts and questions will definitely improve your experience! All tastings will be made available the following day for replay. In addition, you can participate and engage within the Facebook Group to the level you're comfortable with.
Obviously, my goal of offering this tasting series at such a reduced price is that you'll learn a few things and find some new wines you want to order! At the conclusion of the five-week series, all wines sampled will be available for ordering! I'll even be having a Warehouse Sale the weekend following the series on Oct. 18-20!
Sign-up deadline is Wednesday, Sept. 11! Don't miss out!
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me at (314) 853-8252 or email me!

The Wines
PRP Wine International promotes exclusive and unique wines from boutique vineyards around the world! The wines selected for the Wine on Your Time Virtual Tasting Series will be an assortment of one dry white, one "orange" wine, one sweet red, one semi-dry red, and two dry reds. Wines are priced $30-$48 retail, and the six-wine pack will exceed $225 in value! And yes, these are FULL 750ml bottles of wine! No mini-sample bottles here!
Community
By joining the series, you will receive membership in our private Facebook Group, as well as a link to a private Membership Portal with all the video replays and additional resources. During the live tastings or through the Facebook Group, I encourage participants to share their own feedback, post pictures of their food pairings, and engage with others in the group!
Live Tastings
Every Thursday, I will go live on Zoom and Facebook Live at 7pm (and 9pm for a Late-Night option) to present about each wine while we all sample together virtually! I welcome engagement from participants, and I hope you can join LIVE! For those not active on Facebook, every participant will receive a weekly email with all replays and additional info that was shared. Plus, you can access all the resources within the included Membership Portal!
Wine Knowledge
In addition the information presented in the live tastings, I will also provide additional articles and resources for those interested in diving a little deeper into specific wine topics. Food pairing is a big component of this series as well, so each week's wine will have a featured recipe along with other food pairing options. I encourage you to make the featured recipe or at least have some suggested foods to pair alongside.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Here are a few answers to my most common questions...
What if I don't like the wines?
I'm excited to offer a wide selection of wines within each series, so that I know most of the wines will be found to your liking. That said, the goal is to explore new wines and flavor profiles. The selection for this Fall Series will include an assortment of wine styles. In addition, I will always offer tips for enjoying a wine that might not immediately fit into your typical wine palate. Just as at my "in-person" wine tastings, I encourage everyone to be adventurous and open-minded! One of the best comments from past series was "It was fun to try new wines, especially because some of them were ones I wouldn’t have tried otherwise!" Don't get stuck in a "wine-rut," and that means trying wines you wouldn't normally try!
Is it really $99 for six bottles of wine? Is there a delivery fee?
Yes, it really is $99 delivered for SIX 750ml bottles of wine! No additional fees. My goal is to provide a fun, educational, and virtual tasting opportunity to you on YOUR time! It is my hope that you will find new wines you love and wish to stock up on, but you are under no obligation to order any of the wines. That said, over 75% of participants ordered wines during or at the conclusion of the series. Our wines are exclusive and not found in stores or restaurants, so the only way to get these limited wines is through me!
Is this a subscription? Will I be charged again for future tasting series?
No, you are not subscribing to anything. Should you choose to want to participate in future series, you will need to sign-up again and provide new payment information.
What if I can't make each Thursday tasting?
While I hope you will be able to make each live tasting, as that really is the best way to learn and enjoy the wines, I understand that things come up. Replays will be made available shortly after the live tastings. I do expect you to sample the featured wines weekly, so that by the conclusion of the five weeks, all six wines should have been sampled. These are limited stock wines, and you will want to sample them quickly to allow yourself enough time to place and order before they run out!
Couldn't I just drink the six wines all at once when they arrive?
Sure you could just have one big party once the wines arrive, but I hope you will instead choose to be engaged and taste along with us over the four-week series! Part of the fun of wine tasting is engaging with others, and while we may be doing it "virtually," I think it will be a great time for all!
Can I share the virtual tasting series with a friend, spouse, or family member and taste together?
Yes, I would love to have you share these wines with someone who can also join in the fun! If you'll be sharing the series with a friend, spouse, or family member, just let me know when you sign-up so I can invite them to join the private Facebook Group! I simply ask that they also get the opportunity to enjoy the wines with you. As we have adapted to new ways of doing things virtually, I've found these virtual events are also a great way to connect with friends and family across the country! Please feel free to refer your friends and family to sign-up to receive their own samples and participate remotely with you!
I'm not really active on Facebook. Will I be able to see the videos and receive the additional resources?
Yes! Whether you're on Facebook or not, you're welcome to participate in this series! Of course, I encourage participation in our private Facebook Group, but if you cannot participate, don't worry! All replays and additional wine knowledge shared in the Facebook Group will also be posted in the Membership Portal area where you can access at any time! In addition, the Thursday Live Tastings are broadcast via both Zoom and Facebook Live, so if you're familiar with Zoom, you can simply login to that platform instead to participate!
How will the wines be shipped or delivered?
All wines will be delivered in accordance with state and local liquor regulations. In most instances, we will utilize UPS to ship the wines. UPS requires the signature of a 21-year-old for any alcohol deliveries, so please provide a ship-to address that can receive the wine via UPS. UPS also allows delivery directly to any UPS Store for pickup. I will work directly with you regarding any concerns about delivery.
I find myself looking forward to Thursday because I know I can join Wine on Your Time! You provide great recipes, both simple and more advanced, that always pair wonderfully with the wine of the week!
Excellent knowledge and enthusiasm during virtual tasting! Even though life is returning to normal I will be looking for and participating in another series if one is offered again in the future.
We have a lot of fun trying new wines and seeing what recipes make good food pairings. It gives us an opportunity to try new wines and foods. We have found some new favorites by doing these virtual tastings.
