Bordeaux Blending Exercise Winners!

On March 11, three teams from the Greenville Wine Meetup met in The Loft at Soby's to test their skills!

The winning team is pictured.  From left, Marci Greci, Mike Greci, and Holly Deitz.  With 36% Cabernet Franc, 36% Malbec, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 8% Merlot, their blend took top honors!  OK, so neither the right- nor left-bank in Bordeaux use that much Malbec.  You had to be there to understand, but this team made all the right choices!

The winning team named their blend "Ojo Rojo" (Red Eye), a blended red wine from the Mahomi Winery (two letters taken from each of their first names).  Congratulations, Mahomi team.  And don't miss checking out Holly's equally creative, limited edition jewelry designs here.  Gorgeous items, Holly!
