Toasting Etiquette & Protocol

The following are some of the accepted patterns of behavior when giving or receiving a toast.

Never drink a toast or stand, when it's being offered to you. However, you should always stand up and respond to the toast, even if this means just thanking the host for the gesture.
Never should a toast be offered to the guest of honor until the host has had the opportunity to do so. If it appears that the host has no intention of offering a toast, it would be polite to quietly request the host's indulgence to do so yourself.
You should always stand when offering a toast unless it is a small informal group. Standing can help you to get the attention of the group and quiet them down. It is best not to signal for quiet by rapping on a glass. You could easily end up with nothing to toast with.
It is not a good idea to push someone to make a toast who would otherwise prefer not to. You might hear a toast that you would just as soon not hear.
Never refuse to participate in a toast. It is more polite and perfectly acceptable, to participate with a non-alcoholic beverage or even an empty glass than not at all.

Fri, Sept 17th, 2010 From 5pm - 8pm

Join us under the new pavillion at the Taste for a wine tasting,
complimented by tastes from some of the area's finest restaurants.

This is an ideal way to get friends and family together to learn about wine and experiment with new or unusual varietals. Whether you are merely pairing wines with specific cheeses, or doing a vertical or horizontal tasting, you are sure to notice new nuances in both red wines and white wines as a result of the focused tasting.

Proceeds will benefit the Hopsice of Dayton and the Miami Valley Restaurant Association's Scholarship Fund.

Individual Tickets run $35 per person in advance.
