Mixed Varietals
Mixed Varietals is not a specific grape variety, but rather a term used to describe wines made from multiple grape varieties that are blended together after separate vinification. Unlike field blends where grapes are co-fermented, mixed varietal wines allow winemakers to have precise control over the final blend, combining the strengths of different varieties. These wines can be found worldwide and range from everyday table wines to prestigious offerings like Bordeaux blends or GSM (Grenache-Syrah-Mourvèdre) blends.

Grape Abduction Piquette
For those unfamiliar with the piquette style, consider this your delightful introduction to wine's funky little cousin. Piquette is made by rehydrating already-pressed grape pomace and fermenting the resulting liquid – essentially giving those grapes a second life and creating a low-alcohol, slightly sparkling beverage that ancient vineyard workers used to enjoy. Grape Abduction's version is as fun as its name suggests – light, refreshing, and dangerously easy to drink. At just 7% ABV, it's perfect for day drinking without the accompanying day nap. This is the wine equivalent of that quirky friend who shows up to the party with an unusual board game that ends up being the highlight of the evening – unexpected, a bit different, but absolutely worth getting to know.
