The Magic of Blending with Edward Sellers Winery
(I know I'm out of order, but I couldn't write about this until we drank our bottle and discovered its' quality.)
 Working a harvest gave me a realistic view of the life of a winemaker, which is more hard physical labor than those of us who regularly imbibe in wine care to think about. The magazine spreads, dinners and tastings make this life look glamourous, but believe me, those are just the icing on the cake. If a winemaker/owner cares at all about the final product they are working hands on, which is dirty, endless, tiring and requires almost every hour of the day to make their wines a success. Personally, I'd just prefer to drink and talk about their products, than make my own.
However, the chemistry of the process from grape juice to wine and all the variations of flavor and style that can be created are fascinating to me. So, when we had a chance to make our own blend, I couldn't resist. Especially since it was with our friends from Edward Sellers Winery in Paso Robles.>>The whole story...
