To integrate two of the same things but with different colors has brought about such changed beauty in history, and the same can be said about blended wines.
The Wine and Cheese Gallery, 113 N. Main St., will host the "Blending Red Grapes (it's not just for Meritage) Tasting," covering the world of blended wines on Friday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
The educational tasting featuring six different blended wines will cost $20 per person unless you bring in a LivingSocial.com coupon, which allows two people to attend the tasting for the price of one.
"The purpose of the tasting is to show different styles of blended reds from all over the world," said Bunky Mastin, co-owner of the Wine and Cheese Gallery.
Mastin, eating a vegetarian sandwich with a Chardonnay because of the "light taste and light flavor," said the tastings have been a major component of the gallery's success since the creation of the business in 1973.
The gallery has hosted a variety of tastings, including one that highlighted California winemakers and the truest test of wine knowledge - a blind tasting.
The blended wine tasting will feature all sorts of grapes from the last five years, according to the Wine and Cheese Gallery website.
The tasting will run for two hours, but happy hour goes until 8 p.m. All the wines featured during the tasting will be on sale after learning how to drink them, what to look for and what to pair them with.
