I’ve been profiling common wine grapes in an effort to help give you a better idea of the general characteristics of those varietal wines.
But I get a lot of questions about blends: What are they and are they any good?
When we talk about blends, we’re usually talking about full-on mixes of grapes with no single varietal claiming the “type” of wine. And when I think about blends like this, it helps me to place them into two categories: Controlled (typically Old World) and Uncontrolled (typically New World).
