PSA: Linking wine notes to work goals is silly
At our office party, the host made us match tastes to job tasks. Who comes up with this stuff?

Retreats break the ice, parties just stress people out.

I used to find those team-building exercises pretty useless. Then at a company retreat, we did a similar taste-testing game that actually helped people talk more openly. It broke the ice in a way regular meetings never did. Now I see how connecting unrelated things can sometimes loosen folks up. Still, forcing it at an office party might be a bit much.

Totally agree about forcing it at an office party being a bit much. Those things only work if they feel sort of natural, not like a required chore. Your retreat example is the right setting for it.
