I mentioned we blended three wines to keep my good friend Patti happy.  She loved the Limited Edition California Lake County Trio Blanca – but it’s no longer available.  We combined the Vintners Reserve Pinot Blanc, Selection Original Sauvignon Blanc and the Selection International South African Chenin Blanc.  Patti and I bottled the wine last Friday – and it tastes great!  I’ve put my share in the cellar, and will give it a couple of months, then compare it glass to glass with the Trio Blanca….because I have 2 cases of that in my cellar!  I wanted to name it Blankety Blanc, but Patti declared it was her inspiration, and therefore should be named “Inspired Trio”.  I’m good with that!

is how my friend Patti started the conversation – “I absolutely love the Limited Edition California Lake County Trio Blanca.  I want more!”

Unfortunately, there are no more kits available – which is one reason we encourage people to attend our Limited Edition Tasting Event and if they find a wine – or all 5 wines – they love, order more than one kit.  Now, you have to meet my friend Patti to know she wasn’t going to take no for an answer.  She just said – then make me a clone!

So – here’s my scoop…We’ve combined and blended three wines to see if we can come close to the Trio Blanca.  If you remember, it was a blend of Pinot Blanc, Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc.  Right now, the blended wines are very happy sitting and waiting to finish.  The expected bottling date is August 23.  I’ll keep you posted and let you know how the wine turns out.  If it’s wonderful, we’re going to name it the Blankety Blanc wine!  Cheers!
