ssmea03 Posted September 28, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Has anyone done this? Can you do this as a couple sharing one glass with one of you being the blender, or are they sticklers with one person, one glass and all others are banished from the room?

Capricruiser Posted September 28, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Sorry, I for one don't have the faintest idea of what you're talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare All-ready2cruise Posted September 28, 2016 #3 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Just looked it up on Google: http://www.blendcraftwine.com/#captivating-experiences Info at the bottom of page: ULTRA HIGH TECH NAPA WINERY Try wines from the acclaimed Navigator Wines. This boutique micro-winery consistently produces award winning wines from some of Napa's most famous vineyards. Winemakers Patrick Soube and Jeffrey Maltzman use the latest high tech winemaking equipment to lovingly produce the best wines possible. Proudly served onboard MSC Cruises at the Captain's Table.

Capricruiser Posted September 29, 2016 #4 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Well if you get an invitation to dine with the captain I guess that's great. But the OP's idea of a winery at sea still leaves me wondering. Maybe he thinks MSC ships have a vineyard on board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattnvick Posted September 30, 2016 #5 Share Posted September 30, 2016 This is what he is talking about. I don't wish to be rude but I really don't see the point if you don't know anything about it or have never heard about it why you bother posting that. He was asking a question and or looking for information. It was of no help for you to say you didn't know what he was talking about. We are supposed to be here to help each other. For all you wine lovers out there, MSC offers a unique onboard experience that involves sipping, creating, and learning all things wine. Price For $45, you can enjoy this intimate, entertaining, one-of-a-kind experience. Throughout the class, you not only learn about wines, but you also get to enjoy a variety of wines while you mix them to create a bottle of your own. Then, your wine master himself bottles up it for you, and has it delivered to your stateroom. Details Four wines are used in this blending process, and are poured and first tasted from lightest to heaviest: Merlot, Cabernet, Syrah, and Zinfandel. It is interesting to have the wine expert talk you through the tastes that you are experiencing but maybe can’t quite describe. wine blending divina The Process After all of the wines are poured and sampled, the blending begins. It was recommended to rank the wines in order of preference and start your blending with at least 60% of your favorite. For those of you who are not good with math – not to worry, a cheat sheet is available. From there, you can add different percentages of the other wines and then adjust accordingly with each mixture until you find your perfect blend. SAVE $$$! TRACK CRUISE PRICE DROPS HERE! Greg blends up your perfect bottle of wine with a label that has your wine’s creative made up name, as well as a vineyard if specified. If not, one is made up that goes along with your name. On the back of the bottle it is listed what percentage of each wine is in your blend. wine blending divina Drink it Onboard Depending on the length of the cruise and when you create your wine, you can take it and enjoy it at dinner, or bring it home as a souvenir. Final Thought The class was very entertaining and the instructor makes what could be an intimidating class, very laid back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricruiser Posted September 30, 2016 #6 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Well you've explained it. Thank you. With all my MSC cruises I had ever heard of this class so the topic "winery at sea" seemed a little bit strange but I'm pleased to know something new.

No,you cannot do it as couple. They put as many chairs as they need . If 4 people paid for event they will do set up for 4 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
