Wine Blending with Classic Winemakers

For Valentines Day last year my mom got us each a living social voucher to go to a wine tasting and blending at a place called Classic Winemakers in Lacey.  Last weekend  we went to go do it.  The place was pretty nice outside.  They pick up barrels of wines from different local wineries.  We tasted 2 whites and 3 reds.
Some one turned a little red herself.  :)
 Nick mixing it up.
After the tasting we went back to this room where all the wines were on tap.  Then we got to choose different combinations to try blended.  After about six different combinations we came up with the ones we liked.  For the voucher we each got to take home 6 bottles of wine.
 Neil putting the corks on.
 Pouring the correct percentages of each into the bottles.

 We then got to make our own labels, put little plastic seals over the cork.
Our finished products were: Hoff Estate, Neil's Blend, Jasmine's Farms, Banjo's Blend, and Casa de Sayulita, Clave's Inferno.
