Matt Lauer Compares Mischievous, Past-Its-Prime Blended Wine to Meredith Vieira (VIDEO)

The whole crew got involved in something called "wine blending" this morning on 'Today' (weekdays, 7AM on NBC), a practice of finding complimentary spirits to mix and drink. Matt Lauer, Meredith Vieira, Ann Curry and Al Roker took a trip out to a Sonoma winery to try their hands at mixing, measuring and swirling wines together.

Lauer assessed his blend by comparing it to Vieira. "It's open, it's generous, slightly past its prime, but with a hint of mischief," said Lauer. Then he saved himself, adding, "and very satisfying."

Back in the studio, Kathie Lee Gifford, Hoda Kotb, and food author Gary Vaynerchuk gave their own opinions on the anchor's creations. Vaynerchuk wouldn't buy the blends. Gifford and Kotb, not surprisingly, found a couple of them to their liking.
