Top Producers from Washington State, Sonoma County and Portugal showcasing their best wine blends paired with gourmet cuisine from Columbia Hospitality's hotels, inns and conference centers. Chances to win two-night getaways to these fabulous hotels and a five night stay at The Oitavos Hotel in Cascais, Portugal. Includes take-home wine glass, sparkling wine reception, wine-tasting and cuisine. Featuring two blending seminars.
SEM#1: Blending with the C.R.E.W of Chateau Ste. Michelle
Participate in the hands-on red wine blending process of small wine lots with the different wine tiers of Chateau Ste. Michelle (Artist, Ethos, Single Vineyard, Vintage Reserve, Columbia Valley). Small lots focus on Cold Creek and Canoe Ridge Vineyards and grower lots from Indian Wells and Stone Tree Vineyards. Have fun with the "American Idol" rounds where you'll taste through each wine lot, then blend by tier to get to the final blends. Taste, discuss, compare, contrast. You are the judge!
SEM#2: Blend: Inspiration, Experience, Intuition with Columbia Winery
Participate in a hands on blending session using the five bordeaux grapes varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petite Verdot, Malbec). A sprinkle of salt, a dash of pepper; a little more bass, a little less treble. We are all blenders. If we listen to our senses, we know what's missing, and we know when it's just right. Blending wine is no different. Let your palatte be your paintbrush as we show you the secrets of making a perfect blend.
