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.
