If you are not already a sommelier, I would first achieve that accredidation. (It means wine expert, basically.) I would look into franchise opportunities that would help you start and get appropriate licensing and provide marketing tools. I would avoid doing a "home business", because of liquor laws.

I run a fine wine and spirits shop. There are many many people out there with a wealth of self taught wine knowledge. Quite a few are the classic wine snob. Becoming a sommelier takes 3 years, most sommeliers I know are more relaxed about wines.
If you wish to do wine tasting in liquor stores and such you can contract with distributors to do so.
Maxxim, Foster's, Medallion I'm not at work so I don't have a full list for you.
A home based wine tasting business seems sketchy. If you are confident in your palate and knowledge you could try a wine and beverage consulting business, and conduct tasting in that work. However buy a few wine books, if you discover anything new in them your not ready. Many people astound me with their knowledge of wines.

make sure the area where you want it is zoned for that, plus get the proper licenses from the state; of course, know a LOT about wine!
