The first time I seriously tried to write wine tasting notes, I stared at a glass of Pinot Noir for three minutes and produced: “smells like wine. Tastes like wine. Red.”
I’ve helped plan a lot of events over the years, and the cocktail party is one of the most underrated formats in the entire entertaining playbook. Done right, it’s the most flexible, socially alive kind of gathering you can host — people move around, conversations cross-pollinate, and the energy sta
If there’s one red wine grape that consistently gets underestimated, it’s Gamay. I’ve poured it for countless guests who assumed they wouldn’t like it — they’d heard “Beaujolais” and immediately pictured that banana-scented Nouveau from decades past. And then they take a sip, and the look on their f
Ask any HR professional what their biggest challenge is, and you’ll hear some version of the same answer: getting people genuinely engaged. Not politely present, not going through the motions — actually invested in showing up and connecting with colleagues.
One of the things I hear most often from people who are new to wine is some version of: “I know I like it, I just don’t know how to describe wine.” They can taste the difference between two glasses. They have preferences. But the moment someone asks them what they’re getting, they freeze.
There’s a sweet spot in corporate events that most planners miss: the small group. Not the 200-person all-hands, not the two-person lunch — I’m talking about 6 to 30 people. An executive team. A startup’s full staff. A newly formed cross-functional project group. A department of 15.
I’ve planned more corporate events than I can count. In-person ones, hybrid ones, and — especially over the last several years — fully virtual ones. And I’ll tell you something most event platforms won’t: most virtual team building ideas fail not because the technology breaks, but because nobody act
San Diego doesn’t make corporate team building hard. The weather cooperates, the venues are beautiful, and there’s a genuine culture here that values experience over formality. After years of running corporate events across the country, I’ll say plainly: San Diego is one of the best cities in the US
I remember the first time someone handed me a glass of single malt Scotch and said, “Just taste it.” I had no idea what I was doing. I sipped, I nodded, I said “smoky” — and I was pretty proud of myself. Years later, running spirits tasting experiences for corporate teams, I realize how much richer
