Seminars

BLEND seminars will start at 2:30 p.m. so you’ll be free to enjoy the food and wine sampling starting at 4:00 p.m. Seminar options include:

Seminar 1: Blending with 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!

Seminar 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 palate be your paintbrush as we show you the secrets of making a perfect blend.
