On Saturday, Dec. 20 we held our Holiday Blending Party for Cassel Vineyards of Hershey. At the party, we were trying to establish what % of this year's wines we needed in each of our new blends. We also worked on our sweetness levels for the two new wines which may appear on shelves this coming year.
To call it work is a gross exageration of that word. We drank 4 samples each of 3 wines mixed in different proportions and sweetened to different levels. When we were done we were all very happy. The results will appear in our tasting room next March and include a new blend of our Winners Circle Red (dry Chambourcin/Cab. Franc), a semi-dry Cab. Franc Rose', and a semi-sweet Chambourcin Blend.
The party was a complete success and the wine was a fun diversion. I wish work could always be this fun. The picture shows our many happy "workers" at the blending party.
