Default mixing wine

I have a few simple house white wines, but like to try new and on-sale
inexpensive wines. Sometimes an inexpensive chardonnay will be too
flabby, so I mix it with a little Barefoot Sauvignon Blanc to bring
the acid up.

I know this is nowhere as sophisticated as what Shelly and Eve mixed
up on Northern Exposure to replace Maurice's bottle, but it got me
wondering whether anyone else here does this.

It would hard to sum up Northern Exposure in a few lines but it was a
network TV satire/comedy in the early 1990's about a young New York
City bred doctor starting a medical practice in Alaska. Quite funny
and clever in it's time. In a way it expalins a lot about Sarah
Palin.

Yes, but am I the only one who does this, or are there others of you
who do with good or bad results?
