2005 Juice and grape Specs
Some of our numbers are from our winemakers, Tom was up to his eye balls in grapes and didn't run test until Oct 21. Thank you for sharing your test results with us and for understanding. Varieties that do not have numbers, never had samples and/or customers did not call us with number or did not run them. Baco and NY 7301... were sold as grapes only this year and had no samples.
open: Tues-Sun during harvest, 10-5 607-292-3995

Baron’s Blend is a blend of Chancellor, Baco, Foch, and Leon Millot. A dark hearty bodied Bordeaux style.
Prince’s Blend is a blend of Foch, Leon Millot, and maybe Chancellor. A medium bodied, complex Burgundy style. This was cancelled this year due to crop loss of major components.
Maiden's Blush is a fruity wine best finished with a little residual sugar. It is a blend of Aurore, Cayuga, usually Chelois, however, due to that shortage, Tom used another red to color. While it looks dark in your container, it should lighten with fermentation. We usually recommend a 71B or Cotes des Blanc for this wine.
White Blend is a combination of Seyval, Vignoles and Aurore. All blends are sugar and acid adjusted.
The percentages vary, the order the varieties are listed in not necessary in order of volume of those juices used.
