"At the Vancouver tasting room, I found that Willamette Valley Vineyards is now offering customers the chance to create their own red wine blends using a new blending system developed by WVV research and development manager David Markel and artist Josh Kinsey; the system contains WVV grenache, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, syrah, and merlot, and the experience—open Friday through Sunday—involves tasting each wine before selecting blend inclusions, costs $35, and includes the option to purchase custom blend glasses and carafes, with reservations available through Tock." - Janey Wong
