Great notes Dan! Coincidentally, at our Fayetteville Wine Society meeting last night the topic was blended wines and the reason many winemakers blend (looking more at blending two or more varieties rather than two or more vineyards.) We had an Australian sample of a white Bordeaux blend, an Argentinian sample of a red Bordeaux blend, etc. I didn't take very good notes as I was involved in conversation with another but may post my sketcy notes sometime this week. The sommelier, Kristine, made the point that some people say single vineyard, single variety wines are better quality, but the Old World has been making excellent blended wines for generations.
