The Blending Cellar Expands Its Consumer
Offering,
Just in Time for Summer
Wine enthusiasts can make and purchase their
own wine on-site or from home Sonoma, California,
June 6, 2007. Today The Blending Cellar,
a wine blending facility for consumers,
announced the expansion of its blending
program in Sonoma Valley. Due to high demand,
The Blending Cellar and Mayo Familly Winery
are now offering more varietals for custom
blends and have also modified their facility
to accomodate for large groups.
The
Blending Cellar was designed to provide
consumers with an easy way to make high
end wines and customize winery quality labels.
The wines used for blending are made from
award-winning Sonoma and Napa Valley vineyards
by Mike Berthoud, Mayo Family Winery winemaker
(formally from Arrowood Vineyards and Winery).
The wines include the classic Bordeaux varietals
and two distinctly different Cabernet Sauvignons
(that range from soft and fruit-forward
to intense and powerful) to accomodate for
varying palates. The result is Blending
Cellar customers are able to make their
own blends using six very high quality wines.
"We
want to offer people a new wine experience
they cannot find anywhere else," said
Jeff McEachern, partner with The Blending
Cellar. "While some wineries allow
consumers to experience blending sessions,
we are unique in our ability to allow people
to purchase as many bottles of their final
blend as they want."
"Our
ability to deliver single vineyard wines
for custom blends is unique to our industry,"
said Jeff Mayo, President of Mayo Family
Winery. "Our goal is to provide consumers
with a one-of-a-kind experience to make
high quality wines that suit their individual
palate."
Individuals
can experience The Blending Cellar by visiting
the barrel room facility at the Mayo Family
Winery in Glen Ellen or they can purchase
and have a blending kit shipped to their
home or business. Appointments are available
daily and blending kits can be ordered over
the phone or online for $100. There is a
6 bottle minimum purchase (at $40/bottle)
after customers finalize their blend.
