Agriculture--Growers tell about their crops - Field Blends: Interview with Jim Rickards
"'A field blend,' Jim explained, “is a wine produced from a vineyard where several different varieties of grapes are grown together. Those varieties are comingled throughout the winemaking process. It’s the goal to do this. Those different types of grapes are grown together, harvested all at the same time in their varying degrees of readiness and fermented together into a finished wine.” Some field blend vineyards are planted orderly, in a row-of-this-row-of-that fashion. Others are more haphazard, with different varietals growing next to each other in rows."
