Raising the Bar: Go Wild With Wine This V-Day
Blindfolded wine tasting at The Must

The Event: Blend Your Own Batch with Ladera Vineyards
The Details: Using a blend of barrel samples from Napa's Ladera Vineyards—Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot—guests can create a bottle with just the right taste ratios to pique their palates. Plus, you can take your bottle home and enjoy it later in the weekend.
