As stated above, do NOT use the blender. The seeds will ruin the wine.

I do not know what type of grapes you have but the easiest style to make,
especially without a press, is the red wine style. It will work with white
but it will just taste more like a red with a lot of tannin. Just crush the
grapes by hand. Do not press at this time, just mash them all. Put pulp
and all into a bucket that is at least 1/3 larger than the juice. Ferment
in the bucked for 5 to 8 days. Pour the entire mess through a straining bag
and press by hand. By this time the pulp will be soft or broken down and
easy to press. Now put it in a carboy and finish the fermentation. Hand
pressing is not something you want to do with a 15 gallon batch but it works
fine with a few gallons or less.
