To be honest, I don’t know much about blended wines, but would really love to attend this event to learn more about them!!

I love blends with Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. My wife and I recently tasted our way through Walla Walla and were floored by the quality of the wines from one winery to the next. I grew up around Napa and I don’t think they are nearly as consistent as the Walla Walla wineries. It was an awesome weekend.

One of the best descriptions of the powerful impact blending can have on the results in a wine. Often even varietal wines will contain small amounts of other wines to achieve the desired results. It’s an art which is precisely why we’re excited about this event devoted to Blends.

My favorite Washington State blends come from Betz Family Winery in Woodinville. But if had to choose a favorite blend (kind of like choosing a favorite child), it would be the Besoleil, a wonderfully balanced aromatic blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre. YUM!!

Camaraderie Cellars Gráce is an incredible wine from a sleepy winery on the Olympic Peninsula. I highly recommend making the trip to the winery to pick up a bottle or two. The wine maker, Don, truly enjoys his craft as well as his incredible gardens. Their label design is beautiful too!

Hi Bean –
Please do not include me in the contest, as I can not attend. But I love field blends in which the blend is consituted of whatever vines were planted together. My best example is the Ridge Geyserville zinfandel which this year is 72% zinfandel, 20% carignane, 6% petite sirah, and 2% mataro. Just delicious.

My favorite blend by far is the Andrew Will Ciel Du Cheval. Cab Franc, Merlot, Cab Sauv with a splash of Petite Verdot. Yum.
