Battle of the Bordeaux's

February 15th, 11 am

North Coast Wine Club has created a workshop.
The Battle of the Bordeaux's.

We have three wines from The Grand River made in the appassimento style and currently in barrels since 2021: Cab Sauv, Cab Franc & Merlot. We need to bottle it up. I have 10 recipes of different Bordeaux blends. We were going to do the blends privately but then decided it would be a fun event to open up for club members and friends.

This will be limited to three groups of five, so we are limited to 15 participants. Each group will be given three different versions of the Bordeaux blend to make. The group will also create its own version.

There will be a brief presentation of the history of Bordeaux. 

After completing the blends, The Judges will Swirl, Smell, and Sip all 12 blends. They will also use the UC Davis 20-point scoring system to grade the wines and determine the best ones. We will make some of the winning blends up for participants to examine.

In a few weeks, we will then blend these all up.(After Fed Label approval)

Wine blending involves combining different types of wine, which many wineries do to polish their wines before bottling. This interactive activity allows you to explore the art of blending while getting to know each other. We will use the North Coast Wine Club wine to create the perfect Bordeaux blend.

SEATS ARE LIMITED

Hope to see you!
