Depends on how snobby the people are.
How well do you know these people? Do you have any idea how analytical they plan on being? Any idea of the experience level of other people?
In general I would say that you should always feel comfortable, even if the other people have more experience than you, because that way you can learn. There's no right or wrong way to do things. The only trick is meeting up with other people who have roughly the same vision you do. But there shouldn't be any worry/shame involved.
If you know the people well, then none of this should matter.
If not, you can give the first session a go, and see whether you would like to return.

Tim, if you shop around, you can find some decent stemware cheap. There are "Dollar Tree" stores in our area that have decent wine glasses for $1 each. If I happen to stop in there every 2-3 months, they have different styles - one visit might have bubbly flutes, the next a white wine glass, the next a red, the next time a Burgundy style. I do have Riedels, but save them for better wines when company is expected.TimMc wrote:...

We did - we just didn't invite you! Just kidding, but in all seriousness, in the Sunday and Wednesday chats we do compare what wines are in our glasses, and then there are offlines, which, if you haven't been to one are a lot of fun, meeting the folks who hang out here and sharing some mighty fine wines.TimMc wrote:Too bad we couldn't get together and form a wine tasting group.
