The TODAY crew gets a lesson in the fine art of blending their own wine, a trend that’s catching on among Americans around the country.  Crushpad winery in Sonoma even offers classes on creating blends.

So what did the anchors think about wine before they got their lesson?

Meredith: “I know white or red, but beyond that I’m really bad”

Al: “It comes in a bottle,  sometimes in a box… Is it too oaky?  Too fruity?  Too heavy? … just pour something that’s wet and let me drink it!”

Natalie: “I like to drink a glass every now and again, more now than again”
