Laramita Cellars

One approach is simply to blend a finished red wine with a finished white wine. Although some consider this approach a bit dishonest, wine makers in the Champagne region of France have been employing it for eons. Who am I then to say they are wrong? I will say, however, that this approach suffers from one significant disadvantage. The resulting wine isn’t a singular expression of fruit, time, and place. Great things can be accomplished through blending, but the expressions of flavor and aroma that can be obtained from a single varietal can be muted or lost.
