Asheville’s Best Free Wine Tasting – Just stop by – we’ve got plenty of free parking!
Blending grapes together to create wine is nothing new. In fact, the practice has been used for hundreds of years in all of the major wine zones of the world. Why you ask? For most, it’s pragmatic. By blending grapes with opposing traits and characteristics, winemakers are able to create better and more balanced wines. Red Zinfandel is a prime example — on its own, it can be light in color and too fruity. But when blended with Petite Sirah, which it often is, the wine gains much needed boldness and structure. And the art of blending, widespread from Champagne and Bordeaux to Napa Cab and Sonoma Zin, is what we will focus on for this tasting. Stop by, taste some delicious wines, save some big bucks, and learn something new.
