Winemaking 101 – Blending Seminar

Sunday, June 25th
2-5 p.m. in the Winery
Hors d\’oeuvres and herb & wine affinities will be available

$25 for General Admission
$20 for Summit Club Members

Join us as we explore the art of blending in the first of a series of classes designed to teach you how we craft artisan wine at Burntshirt Vineyards.  The goal of this blending seminar is to have participants blend an estate white (cuvee) using five varietals sourced from Burntshirt Estate Vineyards.  Each varietal adds layers of complexity, yet the key is a balance between fruit, acidity and a seamless finish.

Our seminar will be led by winemaker Preston Thomas and General Manager Andre Boada in The Summit events center.  Compete for your chance to be recognized as our official Winemaker of the Day, with certificates being awarded to the best blends and a top prize going to the best overall!

Welcome reception with wine and light hors d\’oeuvres will be included with this seminar.

Varietals in tank for the event are:
Chardonnay (Steel tank & Oak components)
Vidal Blanc
Triminnet
Grüner Veltliner
