My son and I recently did the red wine blending experience and must say we had a great time. It was all about the structure of different wine varieties which we had never really thought about before. But each wine was explained and more importantly tasted and then we got to do our own blends and then blind taste each others. Unfortunately his blend came out the winner. We really learnt a lot about wine structure while having an absolute ball. Alex was fantastic and we would recommend this experience to anyone who likes red wine.
