The perks of having your first tasting quickly: Earning additional income with Boisset's JumpStart program

✅ Choose your Wine Tasting Date and your Tasting Experience.

Look at your calendar and choose a date for your first tasting. Most Wine Ambassadors find that the best days for Wine tastings are Thursday, Friday & Saturday evenings and Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Choose a day and time that works best for you.

Now choose your Wine Tasting Experience. This is easy if you purchased the Essentials Package or the Deluxe Package when you became an ambassador. Simply choose one of those Tasting experiences for your first tasting. If you purchased the Digital Package when you joined, Sign in to your website, then go to Shop > Wine Flights and choose one of the experiences and order the wine flight.

SUCCESS TIP: Choose 2 wine tasting dates. That way if a guest can't make your first date, you can invite them to your 2nd wine tasting date.

✅ How to Invite Guests to your Wine Tasting

Boisset Collection has created a Host Tasting Guide to help you with this. Click the button to access the Guide and follow it. It will give you suggestions for who to invite and a script for your invitation.

Note: This is the same document that you will send to anyone who is hosting a wine tasting for you with their friends.

SUCCESS TIP: Call all of your guest to invite them personally as well as sending them an invitation via email or via an invite app. You can provide them more information about the tasting and what to expect.

✅ HOW TO ASK SOMEONE TO HOST A WINE TASTING FOR YOU WITH THEIR WINE LOVING FRIENDS.

Boisset Collection has created YOUR GUIDE TO BOOKING TASTINGS & GETTING PHONE ORDERS to help you with this. Click the button to access the guide and follow the scripts.

Continue to scroll down down on the wine flight page until you see Ambassador Materials. Click on the "Experience Slides date range" that corresponds with the date that you purchased the flight or became an ambassador. This has everything you need to know about the wines, wineries and wine facts/education for your tasting. Read it and practice talking about the wines.
View the Wine Details on each wines page. To find this, scroll back up to the list of wines. Click on the first wine and it will take you to that wines page. From there, you will see tabs for Description, Tasting Notes, Wine Making, Tech Notes and Pairs Well with. Click on each tab for more information.

PRO TIP: Print the Wine's Tech Notes. From the Tech Notes Tab, click on the .PDF link to access the tech note document. Take this to your tasting. If anyone has any questions on the wine, you can share this document with them and continue with the tasting.

Now it's time to Practice. Practice. Practice.
Practice with your sponsor. Practice with your supportive partner and/or friends. Practice in front of the mirror. You will be nervous for your first tasting, but the more you practice, the more comfortable you will feel during the tasting.

If you need help or support, reach out to your sponsor so they can help you.

The goal is to have fun! So try not to stress out too much. Boisset has provided all of the information, so take the info with you to the tasting so you can reference it during the tasting.

You will do great!!!
