In fact, I often find that many wineries' best wine is their red blend (or one thereof). And yes, cultivars that may be the most promising in CO may not have been planted here yet...kschlachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12810309689429676303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677155356733403823.post-42121820659949296182012-05-09T19:59:06.293-06:002012-05-09T19:59:06.293-06:00Jay, good call on the blends and I agree, lots mor...Jay, good call on the blends and I agree, lots more planting to do before we really know what's working best.Jeff Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07239031675612305870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677155356733403823.post-62606819895200282862012-05-09T16:24:05.678-06:002012-05-09T16:24:05.678-06:00Great wines can come from anywhere, focus on the w...Great wines can come from anywhere, focus on the wines and worry less about where they are from. CO wines can compete with anyone, give it a try.<br /><br />Cheers to that one!<br /><br />For varietal I think we might be missing the best boat - we could be the region in the US known for blends - If we have to go varietal don't forget there are lots that haven't been planted...yet.Jay Christiansonhttp://www.anemoiwines.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677155356733403823.post-47878523808751981462012-05-09T08:47:04.836-06:002012-05-09T08:47:04.836-06:00I think the varieties that show the most promise a...I think the varieties that show the most promise are Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Riesling.
