blending Concord,Merlot,Cab Franc

[lieu]

Hello all,
I think I am going to have all of these grapes this yeaar and was just wondering if anyone has blended these before? I have had the Merlot/Cab Franc blend before but was wondering if that is the only blend that would be recomended or if the Concord could be brought into the equation? I have never blended anything before so this is new territory for me so any advice would be greatly appreaciated.-Bruce

When blending mix small samples before committing your whole batch or batches, depending on how much of each you may want to think in terms of several different blends for a variety of different wines. Be careful with the concord because it can be overwhelming.
