A warm hello to the Wiens family launched our wine intoxicating blend of class Wiens Winery wine blending seminar per year. After a warm welcome, the crowd of more than 30 participants has been introduced into the barrel room air. This pleasantly decorated room had 10 tables covered with table linens. Each table had a setting for four, four bottles of wine mysterious labeled A to D, a cylinder (like those you find in a chemistry class), and several other tools for mixing wine.
