Why use just one grape? Great winemakers – just like great chefs – balance all the ingredients in the bottle to create a sum that can be greater than the whole! Color, taste, tannin, and acid vary grape-to-grape and form the winemaker's “spice rack”.
Blends are some of the most sought-after wines in the world, but not all blends are created equal! While the term "red blend" can conjure images of jammy and sweet wines from California, the reality is that red blends can be found all over the world. In fact, some of the most revered and sought-after wines in the world are blends - Bordeaux, Priorato, Super Tuscan, and more.
Join Jeff Holden from Breakthru Beverage PA at Jet Wine Bar on Wednesday, December 14th for guided tasting of 6 red blends from around the world: Bordeaux, Corbieres, Priorat, Tuscany, California’s Central Valley, and Imathia, Greece. From the traditional to the unexpected, we'll taste just what makes these red blends our friends!
