You don’t need a vast California estate and years of tutelage to style yourself a winemaker. You just have to want it bad enough. And you need the Fusebox Wine Blending Kit.
See, the Europeans, they aren’t so hung up on keeping varietals in their separate little pigeonholes. For one thing, it makes the grapes taste like pigeon dung. More importantly, skillful blending allows for complex, distinctive, multifaceted wines.
So the Fusebox Wine Blending Kit provides everything you need to blend, chop, whip, and pulse your way to oenic self-expression. You get six 375 mL bottles of Napa wine to blend with, including Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and two bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon. You get chemistry-class throwbacks like pipettes and a graduated cylinder. You get recipes, evaluation cards, and aroma cards to guide your quest. And once you’ve flexed those blending muscles, you and your fellow wine geeks can guess at what went into the 375 mL bottle of Mystery Wine. Note: “Hi-C”, “soy sauce”, and “Ben-Gay” are not acceptable answers.
Get in touch with your inner vintner with the Fusebox Wine Blending Kit. Or come over to my place and get in touch with my inner vintner. You should probably bring your own chair, though. I don’t have much room for furniture at my place.

We are a combination of wine industry veterans and technology industry refugees that want to liberate winemaking from the stereotype of the 5th generation wine family living on the chateau with the Golden Retriever. By bringing winemaking to the city, augmenting it with education and support, and taking care of the time-consuming parts, we want to enable anyone with a serious interest in wine to participate in the magic of winemaking.
And winemaking is magic. Although the process is somewhat understood, there is something very personal and very rewarding about squishing some grapes, turning it into wine, and then sharing this with the world. Until you’ve done it, it seems like some abstract thing that you could never do well. Once you’ve done it, you can’t imagine not doing it. This is a warning – Winemaking is Addictive.
