Blending

Good discussion on blush and rose in a recent thread. Has anyone experimented with blending a white with a red wine to create a "blush/rose" effect? Or is that a sacrilegious thought?

The nice thing about home winemaking is that we are limited only by our imagination, creativity and good judgement. I'm hoping to blend a little blueberry (if it turns out) into a red zin that's coming along nicely (assuming the chemistry seems reasonable at that time).

I'm quite sure that's been done - likely many times.

The nice thing about amateur winemaking is that you don't have to follow any rules. All that's required is that the resultant wine taste good. Of course it's nice if it doesn't make one sick to drink it. ;^)

Makes a great wine. One of my winemaking friends here in the Kansas City area make a wine using mostly white grapes with a small percentage of reg grapes. The wines have a pretty deep color but still smell and taste like the base white grape. Very pleasant combination.
