Date:
06/14/2015
4:00 pm - 7:00 pm
‘Behind the Vines,’ beginning with harvest, will feature four immersive experiences at Ram’s Gate Winery throughout the year, each tending to the same parcel of fruit. Between the gatherings, we invite you to partake in a complimentary, private barrel tasting with our winemaking team to monitor the wine’s evolution.
Today’s experience: Blending
$150 for Members, $175 per guest
One of the most intense times of year in the cellar, blending involves careful experimentation and creative thinking. Split into teams of 4-8 and try your hand at blending trials to result in the best tasting wine. With our winemaking team and sommeliers on-hand, test various quantities of different barrel lots. Choose the best blend to present for judging – the winning team’s blend will be used for the remainder of the lot, and bottled a few months later. The winners will receive their own bonus bottle of this wine, of course. Enjoy a wine-paired three-course dinner to celebrate your accomplishments after the competition.
