This sounds like loads of fun with wine. Winemaker Frank van de Loo at Mount Majura is offering you a chance to blend your own TSG on Saturday, October 26. TSG is Mount Majura’s flagship wine, a blend of tempranillo, shiraz and graciano.

In the current 2011 release, it’s 43per cent, 41 percent and 16 per cent, respectively. The blending is where the winemaker’s magic comes in.

On Saturday, you get to taste the 2011 TSG, then the 2013 in barrel – not yet blended, so still in the barrel as individual varieties. Then it’s over to you to make your own blend, and the result will be judged by van de Loo, the winery’s marketing manager, Fergus McGhie, and Aubergine sommelier Joshua Donnelly, with prizes for the winning blend (11am-1pm, $40, 62623070).
