I will fill in numbers as Tom does the test.  Where there are just brix numbers, he hasn't run test and we have just dipped the refractometer.

We are tasting low acids this year.  Tom is going to try to run test this weekend (Oct 20-21).  In the meanwhile, pick up some acid blend or tartaric acid when you shop so you will be able to adjust the acid once you know the numbers.  Sugars are moderate as we continue into a drought year.  There is a tartaric acid chart in the lessons menu and a Sugar Chart.  Thank you for being patient! 

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 Vidal 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. 

Fall Bright!
