My 30th is coming up in December, and I'm continuing my tradition of
hosting a wine tasting party for the occasion.

I'm trying hard, and failing, to come up with a theme this year that
has anything to do with the number 30, 1977, or anything along those
lines. An all 1977 Vintage Port tasting anyone? No thanks, not to
mention how expensive it would be.

Typically, I name a theme (Zinfandel horizontal, Old World Wines,
Wines of Italy have been some past ones) and request that guests bring
either a bottle of wine per couple, or some food. I then give
suggestions for those who don't attend these types of events very
often, and would otherwise feel somewhat lost.

Before I capitulate and decide to just pick some theme that would fit
any other year as well as this one, I wanted to know if anyone had
suggestions? Has anybody attended or hosted something similar, for a
"milestone" birthday such as this? What did you do?

Thanks!
