We asked 2 sommeliers how to impress a date with your wine order, even when you don't know anything

Wine Riot is an event that aims to take the pretentiousness out of wine culture and lure in millennials with photo booths and grilled cheese hors d'oeuvres.

During the event's 30-minute crash course, "Old World versus New World Wines," taught by two sommeliers, I realized just how little I knew about wine.

Below, see their top three tips, which may come in handy in a situation (on a date, for example) when you want to appear like you know what you're doing.
